Land Subsidence & Earth Fissures Field Trip
This field trip is a great opportunity for those seeking to observe three local areas of interest, with demonstrations on how earth fissures affect structures, and methods to detect fissures. For a listing of field trip activities, in addition to parking and other details, CLICK HERE.
The field trip will run from 8:00am to around 3pm on November 6th, 2019. We will meet at the Gammage Theater parking lot near the Memorial Union on Tempe campus at 8:00am to get on a charter bus to visit 3 areas of interest. These areas are within the Phoenix metropolitan area, so long bus rides are not expected. Please remember to wear appropriate footwear and clothing. We will not be doing anything strenuous, but will be walking on dirt roads for short periods of time under the sun. There will be water and snacks available, but please bring anything else you require to make this trip comfortable and enjoyable. Lunch will be provided and will eat in the field during our field trip. Vegan and Vegetarian options will be available. Once we get closer to the time, we will reach out for lunch orders.
Earth Fissures and Land Subsidence November Social
To conclude the final meeting of the UNESCO-IGCP641 project, we will be holding a social event after the field trip on November 6th from 7pm to 10pm at Fate Brewing Company, Scottsdale: 1312 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85257. Dinner and drinks will be provided, with additional drinks and items available for purchase from the bar menu. We will have some brief closing statements and plan to spend the evening celebrating and socializing together. It should be a blast, and we look forward to seeing you! Cash or credit payment will also be accepted at the door.
Holiday Social 2019
To celebrate the end to a great year and the new year to come, AEG is hosting a Holiday Social! Celebrate with other members, non-members and students associated with AEG on Monday, December 16th, 2019 from 5:30 to 7:30pm at McFate Brewery in Scottsdale. Drinks (1) and food will be provided to all attending.
We plan on having a few prize giveaways to those attending the meeting, so don’t miss out! We are seeking individuals who would like to donate or lend rock or mineral specimens to be auctioned off at this event, or to be used in an identification prize giveaway. The proceeds will go to students at ASU, specifically to start an AEG Student Chapter in the upcoming year or to fund a spring or fall field trip. We also welcome meeting sponsors and those who would be interested in donating for the raffle items given away at the party. If you are interested in donating/lending one or multiple rock specimens, meeting sponsorship, or other donations for the party, please reach out to Danielle Smilovsky at dsmilovs@asu.edu.
Field Trip – FMI Sierrita Mine
Considering Arizona winter weather is perfect for a field day, don your hiking boots and join us for a field trip planned on Saturday, February 29th, 2020 to the Freeport McMoran Sierrita Mine near Green Valley, south of Tucson.
The Sierrita Mine has one of the largest proven copper reserves in the world, and has been worked for copper and molybdenum since 1907. We will be guided through the site by a representative of Freeport McMoran. It will be a great opportunity to ask questions and learn about how a large mine is operated and economically sustained!
