Sagehen Creek Field Station

09 Oct, 08 AM - 12 Oct, 12 AM

After 4 years of trying, I have finally obtained trespass permission to map in Carpenter Valley. The purpose of the mapping there is to locate the positions of faults that enter the valley from Sagehen and to map on the valley walls the levels of rocks that lie beneath Sagehen and, thereby, get a better idea of how to draw a geologic cross section across Sagehen. This information will be of great interest to Don Pool (USGS) and others who are doing groundwater modeling in the Sagehen basin. I will do this mapping with Dr. Gary Raines (retired USGS geologist) in the period October 4-7 and we'll bunk at his home in Reno, then I'll work by myself October 8-12. It is entirely possible that Dr. Raines and I will finish the mapping before October 8, but if not, I emphasize it will be only I who will bunk at Sagehen for a few days.
