Northwest Geology
The geology up here is a fascinating mix.
Dave Tucker is at Western Washington University and has set up a
very nice website.
From the about section:
About this website
The blog is written by Dave Tucker. I am a research associate at Western Washington University�s geology department. While my research focuses primarily on volcanic rocks and events at Mount Baker and the nearby Hannegan caldera, this website is not limited to volcanic geology.
This is intended to be a cooperative effort. Please use a comment to contact me about submitting field trips you want to write, or places you�d like to know more about.
This website will post illustrated geology field trips to sites where you can lay hands on cool geology, or get good overviews of the geology of northwest Washington and southwestern British Columbia. At least through the winter of 2009-2010, posted trips will be restricted to the region of the Salish Sea. Some field trips will be along roads, some will require hiking, and there will be trips for demented folks like me who don�t mind a little, or a lot, of cross country travel- bushwhacking, scrambling, stream crossing, glacier crossing, and the like.
It's off to a good start and will be fun to check in every few weeks especially now that Winter is coming to a close and going on an interesting new hike will be a fun way to spend a day.
