Photos of Structural features
2007 Honors section
The honors section will investigate the geology of the San Gorgonio Pass region of the San Andreas
We will read and discus 4 papers on the region and perform claybox models to simulate the evolution of the fault
We will meet 4-6 times through the semester. 4 times to discuss the papers and 1 or 2 times to run claybox models
