Welcome: Lets rock out and learn about the earth and the oceans. Geology and oceanography are field sciences (the earth is our lab) so we try to get out into our great local environment and put our feet and hands in the sands of Point Lobos, look at the rocks along the creek bottoms of the Marks Ranch, hike on the old volcanoes of Pinnacles, and walk along the San Andreas fault. The Monterey Bay area is world famous for geology and marine sciences so we owe it to ourselves to experience the wonders of the earth upclose and personal.
