An introduction to the geology of the Eastern Klamath Mountains presented during two evening programs and a one-day field trip. The evening sessions will review the geologic setting of the Klamath Mountains, the history of terrane accretion that assembled the range, and the origins of the diverse suite of igneous and metamorphic rocks that host its mineral wealth. The field trip will give students opportunities to explore sites that showcase the major processes that have shaped this ancient convergent margin as well as its rich mining history.
