A Memorable Trip to Malheur

Although the above photo was taken in Prineville and not Malheur, it represents a historic meeting for GSOC’ers. Although they have collaborated on The Geology Hour for a few years, Carrie Gordon had never met with Paul Edison-Lahm in person. This trip gave them the opportunity to do so. In the photo we are looking east towards the edge of the Crooked River Caldera, in which Prineville is situated.

A Hike into the Sandy River Canyon

This one-day field trip was a hike into the eastern terrace of the Sandy River Canyon, and was led by Ian Madin, retired Senior Scientist from Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. The target geology was the material deposited between 16 and 2 million years ago (Ma) above the Columbia River Basalt which underlies the Portland basin.
