  • Cross Cordillera Field Trip Guide
    GS Field Trip: End of Summer 2016 GS191/291 (Miller, no Klemperer (went to Tibet), Lund Snee, Gottlieb) Listed as Fall Quarter class under Miller Crossing the Cordillera: From the Colorado Plateau to the Sierra Nevada Field trip (1 credit), advanced ugrad to grad level, but all welcome Dates: September 15 to Sept. 21 (T.A. Eric Gottlieb) There is unprecedented controversy about the paleo-topographic evolution of the western United States. How thick and how high was the crust following Mesozoic crustal shortening? Did the region between the Sierra Nevada and the Colorado Plateau form a high plateau, the Nevadaplano, underlain by 60 km thick crust? When did this thick crust collapse to its present crustal thickness of only 30 km? Did extension happen as a result of, during and shortly after crustal thickening? Or did extension take place only in the Miocene, during formation of Basin and Range topography? How much stretching is represented by Basin and Range faulting? Can it account for thinning of crust by 30 km? This field trip will provide you with an exceptional opportunity to view a complete cross-section of the geology of the southern part of the North American Cordillera, from the undeformed Colorado Plateau on the east to Mount Whitney and the Mesozoic Sierra Nevada arc on the west. With these big questions in mind, our stops will focus on Mesozoic shortening, when the Cordillera is believed to have looked like the Andes, and on younger extensional structures (including a variety faults in Death Valley), with a critical view and discussion of age, geometry and offset along normal faults.
