About Geological Expeditions of Yore
As cliché as Newton’s axiom “standing on the shoulders’ of giants” has become, for geologists this is especially true. Most of our geological expeditions are targeted based on previous hints provided by the field geologists of yore. Whether it be the orogenic history responsible for James Hutton’s famous unconformity at Siccar Point or Heim Gansser’s Himalayan expeditions disguised as a Buddhist pilgrim, it is upon their shoulders that we stand to delve deeper into geologic mysteries around the planet. In this show we will explore the adventures of intrepid explorers and geologists who laid the groundwork for the fieldwork we do today.
