An introduction to the geology of Mount Shasta presented during two evening programs and a one-day field trip. The evening sessions will review the mountain's geologic setting, its eruptive history, the characters of its eruptive products, and its potential hazards. The field trip will afford students opportunities to explore volcanic and glacial features on the flanks of a peak that geologists estimate has a one in three to four chance of erupting during their lifetimes.
