Our mission with this website is to share our 100 years of combined experience & passion for geology in the hopes that you will also see how interesting geology/science can be and maybe you will guide your children, grandchildren, and/or great-grandchildern towards an education in the field of science. In coming years, America will be critically short of scientist/engineers.
