Geology of Lassen National Park

An introduction to the geology of Lassen Volcanic National Park presented during two evening programs and a one-day field trip. The evening sessions will review the park's geologic setting, the eruptive products and histories of Lassen Peak and Mount Tehama, and the potential volcanic hazards of the region. The field trip will afford students opportunities to explore volcanic and geothermal features in the western part of the park, and to visit California's most recently active volcano.
