Geology Field Trips

For several years Santa Ana College Geology would offer field courses which afforded students the opportunity to adventure out into various physiographic regions of California for a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn more about the geologic history of our state.  Unfortunately, due to budget cuts we have not offered a field course since Fall 2009.  With new sources of funding become available, students should see field course offerings as early as Fall 2012!!!

GEOLOGY 174: GEOLOGIC FIELD STUDIES OF JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK TO BE OFFERED FALL 2012 -- SPACE IS LIMITED!!! ​

Below are some photographs from past field study trips. Enjoy and hope to see you on our next trip!!!
