1
00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:12.520
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, why don't we go ahead and get started i'm sure if there are people that are trying to join late, they can try to join late it's one o'clock, thank you for.

2
00:00:14.230 --> 00:00:23.050
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): joining our field trip accessible geology and the hartford mason, and this is kind of supposed to be a companion, to the workshop we did this morning.

3
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:45.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): and developing inclusive field trips so we're going to reprise just a little bit of information from that morning workshop and then we'll hopefully get out and do some video and image exploration of some accessible and not so accessible field place so.

4
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:58.240
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me share my screen again and we'll do our introductions we are way we do have one more field trip leader who may be a little bit late so.

5
00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:01.510
let's see.

6
00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:06.250
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hopefully she'll join us a little bit later.

7
00:01:08.110 --> 00:01:13.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So good afternoon everybody i'm Jen paetec from central Connecticut State University.

8
00:01:16.630 --> 00:01:30.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I don't know why am I doing this Why am I doing this field trip, while i'm doing this field trip because, although I was trained in geology as an able bodied person i've been a paraplegic since 2010 and I had to rethink how I.

9
00:01:31.870 --> 00:01:35.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Do geology and what I try to bring to this.

10
00:01:37.390 --> 00:01:49.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Are my thoughts as a professor in my classroom as chair of my department, but also to bring the angle of a planetary geoscientist who's trained in remote sensing.

11
00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:54.070
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me pass over to my co leader Sean.

12
00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:07.120
Sean Thatcher: Everyone, my name is Sean basher I am a recent graduate from rutgers university with a master's degree in geography, where that 2020 graduate as I get the badge of honor.

13
00:02:08.140 --> 00:02:14.800
Sean Thatcher: I am a GIs analyst and a road geologists currently looking for some full or part time positions so keep me in mind.

14
00:02:15.070 --> 00:02:22.300
Sean Thatcher: A lot of my focus focuses on remote sensing and climate resiliency so basically using remote sensing technology is to analyze.

15
00:02:22.870 --> 00:02:32.710
Sean Thatcher: Coastal GEO morphology and changes in the coastal regions, as they pertain to climate change i'm also really involved with the International Association for geoscience diversity.

16
00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:47.980
Sean Thatcher: As the student Community Chairman so basically assisting students and understanding the challenges and barriers that are facing them in their own geoscience education and help them overcome them, I am also a quadriplegic and i've been using a wheelchair since.

17
00:02:49.060 --> 00:03:08.500
Sean Thatcher: 2009 and it's been great to work with the igd and individuals like Jen and nita where we all met on accessible field trips and it grew out into a really great working relationship that has been really beneficial I hope for all parts.

18
00:03:12.730 --> 00:03:18.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, fantastic and Anita is our third leader we're.

19
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:30.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): waiting to see if she'll be able to join us this afternoon um if she doesn't if she does it, we have some shameless plugs that for projects that were involved in that.

20
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:33.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Well we'll have to shamelessly plug it.

21
00:03:34.510 --> 00:03:42.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): let's do, though, I want to let me introduce herself when she gets there um let's have all of you just.

22
00:03:43.810 --> 00:03:55.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): say hello so jump in tell us who you are where you're from and if there's something in particular that you're hoping to get out of this field trip and I will stop sharing my videos you can all see each other.

23
00:04:02.380 --> 00:04:08.260
Michael Thonis: Well i'll break the ice and just say that i'm Mike thoroughness and i'm a trustee of the Museum of science in Boston.

24
00:04:12.730 --> 00:04:16.630

Ann Hadley: i'm in Hadley I teach at Manchester Community college and Connecticut.

30
00:04:54.520 --> 00:05:06.940
Katrin Monecke: Hello i'm Kathy morning i'm teaching at wellesley college and I often do features, to the Connecticut river Valley, a little bit further north than where you are but i'm curious to see the outcomes.

31
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:30.460
Janet Wert Crampton: And Crampton from rockville Maryland I spend my retired travel time going on geology field trips and I used to live in South Hadley Massachusetts so i'm coming to old familiar territory with on shore new interpretations.

32
00:05:37.810 --> 00:05:39.280
Henry Berry: Henry Barry and.

33
00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:41.590
Henry Berry: I went to.

34
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:55.630
Henry Berry: University of Massachusetts long time ago and lived in some apartments in Sunderland when my two older kids were born in the 1980s used to take them on picnics up sugarloaf.

35
00:05:56.860 --> 00:06:05.320
Henry Berry: And so I know they are coasts road cuts there even you know, took a lead some field trips and some of the.

36
00:06:06.490 --> 00:06:24.400
Henry Berry: Some of the geology there, so I have some it's a little bit of a reminiscence trip but i'm also at the main geological survey now where i've been for 25 years and we have outreach websites and we we lead some field trips and we.

37
00:06:24.730 --> 00:06:25.750
Alan Bourgault: Do we're.

38
00:06:25.780 --> 00:06:29.380
Henry Berry: getting into remote things so i'm very interested to see.

39
00:06:30.520 --> 00:06:32.440
Henry Berry: How, you know how you're.

40
00:06:33.490 --> 00:06:47.440
Henry Berry: You know, some techniques and how you're approaching inclusive activities for for being able to get geology across to a variety of people who you know have maybe access challenges.

41
00:06:48.520 --> 00:06:55.360
Henry Berry: So this very excited about this and I couldn't join you this morning, so I appreciate it a bit of a recap, that you can do.

42
00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:18.850
Nick Fedorchuk: Hello i'm Nick fedora chuck i'm a new assistant professor of sentimentality to configure Connecticut State University and i'm interested in in learning a little bit about the photography and outcrops there so i'm looking forward to it.

43
00:07:34.990 --> 00:07:35.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Alan.

44
00:07:38.320 --> 00:07:38.710
Alan Bourgault: yeah.

45
00:07:38.860 --> 00:07:40.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I think we can't hear you there.

46
00:07:49.210 --> 00:07:53.950
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If you want to say hi go ahead and throw up Hello in the chat that would be fantastic.

47
00:07:55.780 --> 00:07:57.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I think I cut somebody off and I can't see who.

48
00:08:03.460 --> 00:08:12.490
Joanna Hodge, She/her: hi my name is doing a hunch I teach in the earth's resources technician caught program at Fleming college, which is in Ontario Canada.

49
00:08:12.940 --> 00:08:27.730
Joanna Hodge, She/her: i'm looking to develop an inclusive and accessible future for my program, so I am here to get some tips and tricks and information from those who know how to do it the best.

50
00:08:32.350 --> 00:08:51.370
Erika Amir-Lin: hey i'm Erica Amir live i'm hydrogeologist currently I work for the American waterworks association and I am very interested in accessible field trips I because of illness I can't do everything I used to do and so i'm interested in how to make these opportunities available to everyone.

51
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:07.720
Wes Boberg - MN online/ECSU: hi my name is West moberg I teach full time for Minnesota online courses remotely very remotely and I also have an adjunct position at Eastern Connecticut State University.

52
00:09:08.110 --> 00:09:18.760
Wes Boberg - MN online/ECSU: And i've done some reconnaissance and collecting along the Connecticut coastline and Eastern Connecticut towards Rhode island.

53
00:09:19.780 --> 00:09:25.180
Wes Boberg - MN online/ECSU: But I have not really done much in the Connecticut river valley so i'm looking forward to seeing some of the options, thank you.

54
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:45.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay, have we if we've heard from everybody if we didn't hear from everybody or you want to just throw up a high there in the chat that would be fantastic um.

55
00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:58.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we're going to try to be a little bit you know interactive it's not the same as piling everybody into a van and everybody gets to get to meet everybody and share stories, but we can do the best we can.

56
00:10:00.310 --> 00:10:12.700
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): and always always feel free to throw up a hand and or throw a question in the chat if something is, if you have something you are asked about so let me go back to the.

57
00:10:15.850 --> 00:10:17.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): don't see the presentation.

58
00:10:21.250 --> 00:10:31.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So I just wanted to to again we did a whole workshop on this this morning and I don't want to do another three hours just I want to do the same three hours twice um.

59
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:40.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But let's at least kind of hit on what we mean by accessibility and maybe some of the things that we can do really quickly to.

60
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:44.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): To make our field trips our courses more accessible.

61
00:10:46.300 --> 00:11:03.100
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Why accessibility is important, I mean obviously you've signed up for an accessible field trip so Hopefully, this is already on your mind, but we have a problem in geoscience that there's a perception of the loan field geologists.

62
00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:10.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And it's pretty monochromatic, this is just a quick Google search for geologist.

63
00:11:13.870 --> 00:11:26.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A lot of these, I mean we see mostly loan people with rock hammers and pretty kind of dangerous looking situations they're hanging off cliffs third playing with lava.

64
00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:52.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): um so what we're trying to get away from is the idea that you know the geologists has to be the Hollywood geologists you know birkenstocks pack from North face um who's from rei whatever that that this is the way it has to be so, how can we make geology more more broad.

65
00:11:54.520 --> 00:12:11.920
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we tend to focus just because of of our lens through the lens of a person with a disability, but the barriers that exist for people with disabilities are not that different from the barriers that exist to other underrepresented.

66
00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:25.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): groups in geology so the assumption that people with disabilities or keep who grew up in the inner city on cannot do geology or not are not interested in God.

67
00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:40.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That perceptual base that will just that barrier just keep people out of the out of the field entirely and then, even if they do decide they're interested in, they want to join our university programs.

68
00:12:41.380 --> 00:12:48.400
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Sometimes the way that we have designed our training will exclude those people, and one of the.

69
00:12:51.040 --> 00:13:08.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): One of the barriers to training that or one of these exclusionary barriers that is getting cited more and more often, is the fact that not everybody has the same access to natural spaces as they're growing up that, as everyone else so.

70
00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:17.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I learned how to camp and and pee in the field and and deal with being out in remote locations through.

71
00:13:18.820 --> 00:13:27.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): My through growing up through the girl scouts through things like that and not everybody has that opportunity, so we need to make some.

72
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Just be aware of it and make some accommodations.

73
00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:54.790
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So i'm hoping that what we can talk about today is how we address these barriers on not by treating everybody the exact same way, so keeping everybody, the same size by and the same size opportunity, but like taking those experiences and adjusting.

74
00:13:56.560 --> 00:14:14.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The content our trips our courses, so that they fit all of the people we want to bring with us so rather than again giving everybody, the same size by where the tall person and the short person and the person in the wheelchair are uncomfortable and and not.

75
00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:22.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): enjoying the experience, how can we redesign the experience so everybody gets the same guy everybody gets up like that works, the best for them.

76
00:14:23.830 --> 00:14:35.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And I really liked this infographic for the equality equity on field trips, because it does sort of point to the fact that there is no one size that really fits all.

77
00:14:38.470 --> 00:14:45.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And i'm just going to go right to kind of really quick no tech.

78
00:14:46.570 --> 00:15:02.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): doesn't cost you anything I don't think ways that we can improve our field trips and that's by selecting appropriate field sites and allowing enough time to explore them so considering that.

79
00:15:04.330 --> 00:15:11.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): When we go to a field site is the why we're going here more important than the how we get there.

80
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:18.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And that's just simply how are you getting to the outcrop is it Steve does it require stairs.

81
00:15:19.930 --> 00:15:35.410
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): On if there is sort of an alternate access for someone in a wheelchair does it require that they go around through the parking garage and through three five elevators and then so they go an extra mile before they get to the same site that everybody else does.

82
00:15:36.730 --> 00:15:39.460
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then, making sure that we have a schedule.

83
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:55.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That is realistic includes time for meals and bathroom breaks and that we follow it and we don't let our field trips go two hours long because we got wrapped up at one site.

84
00:15:57.640 --> 00:15:58.060
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay.

85
00:15:59.290 --> 00:16:03.280
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So do you want to throw anything i'm at this point.

86
00:16:04.690 --> 00:16:09.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Before we start maybe moving on to looking at actual fields like.

87
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:26.560
Sean Thatcher: know what our our friend and colleague, Anita has really great planning mechanism that she typically uses so when you are planning your scheduled field trip out typically cut one of those locations out because you most likely already assigned too many.

88
00:16:27.640 --> 00:16:38.500
Sean Thatcher: So basically it gives you a little more wiggle room to figure out which locations, you can get do, how you gonna get there and spend enough time to adequately understand the field site and question but that's about it.

89
00:16:42.790 --> 00:16:54.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we went through this template in in the morning, so i'm not going to go through it too much, but you know, providing these kinds of Informations for people on our field trips can really sort of.

90
00:16:55.630 --> 00:17:07.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I it's not an assault accessibility problems but it's going to make that experience a little bit better so How far are we going to I need to pee before I leave um.

91
00:17:08.620 --> 00:17:16.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I hope you don't mind if i'm going to be flip about that Do I need you know, should we fill our water bottles, how long are we going to be there we're going to work in groups.

92
00:17:17.530 --> 00:17:28.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And when are we going to be back and then any this is always a great time to reiterate safety information like don't forget you're standing on the side of the road, and you could get run over.

93
00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.390
Okay.

94
00:17:33.490 --> 00:17:39.310
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): What i'm hoping to do is we'll we'll do a little bit of virtual tours here, but I wanted to throw out there that.

95
00:17:40.660 --> 00:17:55.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I can't do every accessible location in Connecticut I could barely do every accessible location to my hometown so um there are out there, probably little hidden gems that you can find if you look for them, there are a lot of fantastic.

96
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:07.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): trails and more and more city states parks are thinking about making things more accessible, putting in ramp access on.

97
00:18:08.110 --> 00:18:22.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Page walkways things like that, so this is a great way to sort of leverage, something that is someone else has made accessible for us, and there are any number of rail trails in southern New England.

98
00:18:23.830 --> 00:18:33.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That there are worse, you know get out and see if there's one that maybe perhaps could replace a site that's not so accessible.

99
00:18:34.930 --> 00:18:36.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And a reminder also.

100
00:18:37.360 --> 00:18:43.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That reminder is on here, for me, because accessibility What that means is going to vary for different people.

101
00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:55.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So what shawn can do what I needed can do what I can do we're all going to be different, and so, sometimes it may boil down to just.

102
00:18:55.930 --> 00:19:03.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Asking and having a conversation with the people on the trip, you know what is it that you need, what is it that you can do.

103
00:19:04.690 --> 00:19:18.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And hacking may boil down to the weather, you know when you may get to the site and it snowed six inches yesterday or or an inch yesterday and it's suddenly not as accessible as it was the day before.

104
00:19:22.180 --> 00:19:22.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Right.

105
00:19:25.420 --> 00:19:31.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And i'm going to stop sharing that and ask let's see.

106
00:19:33.250 --> 00:19:40.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Actually i'm going to try something we're going to try a little bit of technology, since I noticed, I can do this.

107
00:19:42.310 --> 00:19:47.170
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me see if this will let me connect to my notes.

108
00:19:49.030 --> 00:19:53.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I noticed there's an iPhone iPad option to share via airplay and I thought I give.

109
00:19:53.260 --> 00:19:53.890
Erika Amir-Lin: That a shot.

110
00:19:54.370 --> 00:19:57.070
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Since i've not seen it before but it's not working for me.

111
00:19:58.360 --> 00:20:20.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So, instead, let me give you what I call the 3D tectonic puzzle of Connecticut I know there's I know there's a lot of you in the room that may know, the geology better than I do, but I suspect that there's a few that don't know it, and so let's just look at what kind of the version.

112
00:20:23.110 --> 00:20:43.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm going to use a little cheat I put together here, so we can take the geologic map of Connecticut and there's a version of this available from the Connecticut department of earth and environmental protection, the EP that breaks the state down into different tectonic terrains.

113
00:20:45.280 --> 00:20:47.560
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So the majority of these are.

114
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:58.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Come on grade paleozoic, but we do have a few precambrian protozoa brock's up in the Northwest corner.

115
00:20:59.560 --> 00:21:05.200
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then we have the mesozoic sediments in the hartford basin and that's where we're going to get into a little bit today.

116
00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:07.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But.

117
00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:24.010
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I like this particular sort of tectonic puzzle in my intro classes, because it lets the students kind of assemble them on their own, so I give them these as a jumble and they have to figure out how they put together, and then we can talk about the ages.

118
00:21:25.960 --> 00:21:31.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hopefully, this is sharing the way it should and how we.

119
00:21:32.830 --> 00:21:51.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): live in a in a series of rocks that were accumulated on the edge of the North American krypton during the closure of the iPad associated basin so we're adding in here so rocks on the Western side of the state and then volcanic Arc terrains just on the east of the hartford vacation.

120
00:21:53.410 --> 00:22:00.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then finally to that funky pink unit, which is an apple on the continental terms of avalon.

121
00:22:02.110 --> 00:22:05.110
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So now we've kind of crunch, the whole state together.

122
00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:06.910
and

123
00:22:08.170 --> 00:22:15.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): close the gap at association and formed the appalachian mountain change and i'm not going through all the rajini.

124
00:22:16.870 --> 00:22:18.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Sorry, this is the one on one version.

125
00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:33.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So now we have the state assembled right now we're missing a big piece, how do we get the Newark basin or the hartford basing slide in there, we need to reverse are tectonic direction and riff.

126
00:22:35.080 --> 00:22:38.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we'll create our risk Valley, as I slide the video forward.

127
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:49.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then we'll get assaulted volcanism and the sediment in filling associated with the rift Valley.

128
00:22:59.350 --> 00:23:01.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Stop sharing that for a moment.

129
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I know there's a new a new share button, but I should do it that way.

130
00:23:09.310 --> 00:23:09.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So.

131
00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:16.030
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is the window that i'm in.

132
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:36.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And i'm going to point out that I can put a link in the chat all of these 3D models that I show you today are available freely for download this is this Tiki geology collection that contains the different tectonic terrains, and this is my page on sketch FAB where you can find them.

133
00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:41.530
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I also wanted to do a little look at.

134
00:23:42.820 --> 00:23:46.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The relationship of geology and typography.

135
00:23:52.930 --> 00:24:00.010
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And this will take a minute to load your little full screen there Oh, I think that stop sharing did it stop.

136
00:24:03.520 --> 00:24:04.480
Sean Thatcher: junior good all right.

137
00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:07.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh was good it loses the green outline.

138
00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:15.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But what we've done here is take the 3D map of Connecticut, this is the lidar i'm with.

139
00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:33.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): color version of the geologic map those tectonic terrains that I just showed you kind of draped over the top of it, I know the colors a little sketchy here, well, we can poke into this to the hartford basin and we can see the red units here.

140
00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:42.640
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That create the topographic cars and they line up very, very nicely, these are the mesozoic aged basalt units.

141
00:24:43.900 --> 00:24:59.470
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So there are three mesozoic basalts the holy of the Calcutta and the hand and actually the toolkit is the oldest the holyoke in the middle and the hand in his newest and they're all roughly 200 plus or minus.

142
00:25:01.060 --> 00:25:01.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): million years old.

143
00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:10.030
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And those again these outcrop here along what is colloquially called the trap rock ridges.

144
00:25:11.410 --> 00:25:13.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And that's you know trap rock just being another.

145
00:25:15.190 --> 00:25:18.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): term for these basalts they form these these geologic hi Stan.

146
00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:25.120
Sean Thatcher: Agenda so question in the chat really quick are these are all available for 3D printing as well right.

147
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:36.700
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Yes, if you download from sketch FAB it is you can download I believe they're either spl or poi and you can pull them into a 3D.

148
00:25:37.870 --> 00:25:38.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): into a slicer.

149
00:25:39.850 --> 00:25:43.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And I I could say I could share my G codes, but.

150
00:25:45.010 --> 00:25:57.850
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): it's not going to work if we don't have the same printer but, if anyone is looking for these and i'm having trouble with them to send me an email, and we can work out a better way to get you the models.

151
00:25:58.990 --> 00:26:01.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I know they're all they have to be a little bit.

152
00:26:02.170 --> 00:26:05.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Simplified to go out to fit under the sketch FAB limits so.

153
00:26:10.210 --> 00:26:12.700
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Then the other, let me see.

154
00:26:14.470 --> 00:26:17.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The other interesting bit I wanted to point out.

155
00:26:19.090 --> 00:26:24.100
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm not going to do that and let's do this one here is i'm looking at.

156
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:42.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we had a discussion about this at the geological society of Connecticut meeting and in November, is looking at the relationship between topography and gravity so we're looking here at Connecticut again, but now we're looking at and overlain blue gay gravity anomaly.

157
00:26:43.870 --> 00:27:03.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And the Greens are negative boo gazing on anomaly, and the reds are positive so just on if we just assume that the Buddha gravity is a proxy for crystal thickness, which is a big assumption.

158
00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:11.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But in assumption if we assume if we just assume that, then we have thicker crust in the eastern part of the state.

159
00:27:14.890 --> 00:27:29.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Yes, thicker crust up in the end, the old protozoa rocks in the northwestern corner of the state and right along the Western side of the rift valley would be where we have this positive anomaly, where you should see thinner crust.

160
00:27:30.910 --> 00:27:37.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And that would sort of match up with the basin down dropping during resting.

161
00:27:38.290 --> 00:27:46.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But down dropping on an equally so that the settlements are actually thicker on the eastern side of the of the down drop off.

162
00:27:48.130 --> 00:27:51.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Now again that's a simplification and and.

163
00:27:52.510 --> 00:28:07.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): there's certainly a fairfield county and why not down here or not i'm not part of the rift basin, but yet they still have the same positive anomaly, but it is at least a very good.

164
00:28:08.860 --> 00:28:13.240
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): alignment to say that GEO physically, we can actually see that Western side of the base.

165
00:28:17.890 --> 00:28:19.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I point out the.

166
00:28:22.330 --> 00:28:45.040
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): For the 3D printers in the in the room, and this sucker is similar, but what we've done is just turn the Buddha anomaly into across the thickness, on the other side, so you could in theory download this printed out, and you can get a really good sense of.

167
00:28:46.690 --> 00:28:51.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If, in fact, boo gay gravity is telling us the crust is thinner than this side is then.

168
00:28:55.420 --> 00:28:55.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right.

169
00:28:57.490 --> 00:29:02.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I think what we'll do at this point, I see discussion in chat.

170
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:12.280
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah I love on joanna's referring to the we did.

171
00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:31.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We did a similar Arizona elevation boogie gravity anomaly for Arizona and discussed it at the petrified forest on an accessible trip in 2019 and it really is very good at tactically feeling the difference between.

172
00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:37.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Or the alignment between the typography and the gravity was really fantastic.

173
00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:46.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay, I what I was trying to say there is we haven't looked at rocks yet I just keep showing off 3D stuff.

174
00:29:47.350 --> 00:30:03.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And what I thought we would start with since I have Sean here and i'm taking up this afternoon is i'd like to look at some basalt like volcanism but we don't have volcanic structures that we're going to be able to look at in the field, so let me.

175
00:30:06.670 --> 00:30:12.580
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me turn over to shawn and we'll let you demonstrate your.

176
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:22.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): tour of a Celtic volcano in Arizona, would you like me to Dr Sean or would you like to share your screen.

177
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.580
Sean Thatcher: If you could just share your screen that'd be great that we're going to worry about going back and forth so much.

178
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:29.500
Absolutely.

179
00:30:31.390 --> 00:30:31.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Jen.

180
00:30:34.930 --> 00:30:36.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I love being in charge.

181
00:30:38.320 --> 00:30:41.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, are we are we in a good spot for you there.

182
00:30:43.600 --> 00:30:45.760
Sean Thatcher: Yet yep and just hit present.

183
00:30:47.170 --> 00:30:49.540
Sean Thatcher: Right it's right next to the new feature button.

184
00:30:50.590 --> 00:30:57.430
Sean Thatcher: Perfect so one of the ways that we can bring some field experiences to students or.

185
00:30:58.840 --> 00:31:06.610
Sean Thatcher: family members or friends or fellow colleagues is by using Google earth to create a tour now Google Earth is nothing new.

186
00:31:07.120 --> 00:31:25.990
Sean Thatcher: It was released in 2001 and the tour feature was released in 2013 by 2019 it was revamped to in a way that was much easier and much more accessible for the layman geologists or person in general to create all these really great tours of locations.

187
00:31:27.520 --> 00:31:46.690
Sean Thatcher: without having to physically be there and having the technical expertise to create them, so this is a location in Arizona San Francisco volcanic field this specific volcano is SP crater it erupted somewhere between 4000 71,000 years ago, based on.

188
00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:56.290
Sean Thatcher: dating from mathematics and it is a really classic example of a cynical volcano that's pretty well documented.

189
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:07.960
Sean Thatcher: still a lot of controversy today on how it formed went form working first so it's a really fascinating place, this is actually.

190
00:32:08.560 --> 00:32:15.970
Sean Thatcher: Saying guilt trip that I met Jenny and Anthony to all on, and it was phenomenal as a learning opportunity.

191
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:27.040
Sean Thatcher: So anyway that's what I was able to do without Google tour of the site as a way to really DEMO not only how we can bring field experiences to.

192
00:32:27.610 --> 00:32:34.360
Sean Thatcher: Our students, but also as a way to break down physical barriers, since you know i'm a quadriplegic in a power chair and there's no way you're getting me up.

193
00:32:34.840 --> 00:32:44.680
Sean Thatcher: All the way to the top of ice creator he has as much as I would like to so what you can do is you can create these tours and you can add media content.

194
00:32:45.310 --> 00:32:56.170
Sean Thatcher: Such as photos videos etc, you can include hyperlinks so what Jen is going to open up now is a 3D model she created, while in.

195
00:32:57.070 --> 00:33:08.890
Sean Thatcher: Arizona as well for this trip, so you can look at the topography of it so also as a way to create another one of those really tactile 3D models which is phenomenal when it loads.

196
00:33:09.970 --> 00:33:16.030
Sean Thatcher: And we also have a resource and how to create them so they the Google tour is, in general, so.

197
00:33:16.870 --> 00:33:30.670
Sean Thatcher: You have a lot of customization tools with it there's no coding experience necessary, and you can really do some phenomenal things with it, and there are a lot of resources out there with prefabricated field trips.

198
00:33:32.170 --> 00:33:46.390
Sean Thatcher: That way, you don't have to necessarily start from scratch, but if you wanted to you could the one that i'm about to show you took me about two to three hours to make the hardest part was realizing you know you have to do in the browser not in Google earth pro.

199
00:33:47.590 --> 00:33:58.450
Sean Thatcher: So this first location is just a general overview of SP crater and you know kind of really brief history of the area and the goal of what this trip was so it.

200
00:33:58.750 --> 00:34:12.310
Sean Thatcher: Just to analyze the area with Google earth to better understand volcanic processes in the area, identify other lava flows in the region and compare SP crater to other similar cones in the area for similarities and differences.

201
00:34:13.540 --> 00:34:14.920
Sean Thatcher: So just click next gen.

202
00:34:20.890 --> 00:34:28.810
Sean Thatcher: So and they're really interactive and dynamic, so they do lots of really great aerial shots and us so when we went to sm crater.

203
00:34:29.200 --> 00:34:43.000
Sean Thatcher: We ended up accessing s3 dirt road that went right through cattle country, so one of the reasons why the senior cones in this area are so well preserved compared to others are because this is all private ranch and.

204
00:34:44.200 --> 00:34:52.840
Sean Thatcher: The areas pretty likely vegetated in general but it's a really great way to protect a site, not only for.

205
00:34:53.830 --> 00:35:07.090
Sean Thatcher: agriculture and cattle usage, but also for geologic purposes as well, so it's one of those really great ways of how human processes that really influenced the protection of a geological site in the United States click next.

206
00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:21.340
Sean Thatcher: You know so once you make your way through this road entry and you know traffic and vary depending on how many cows are on the road, but the road in general is about nine kilometers long.

207
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:31.870
Sean Thatcher: So, but what you can see in the area is SP crater is not the only cinder Cone volcano and this whole location is peppered with them.

208
00:35:32.350 --> 00:35:40.990
Sean Thatcher: And some of them are names like colton crater that we can see south of SP crater but many of them actually don't have names are actually understudied.

209
00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:48.760
Sean Thatcher: So they're really great ways that you can like really bring these experiences to have students interpret these imagery.

210
00:35:49.570 --> 00:35:57.910
Sean Thatcher: In general, and formulate their own questions so going through Anita is very much a volcanologist and I am very much so not.

211
00:35:58.180 --> 00:36:06.010
Sean Thatcher: So it was a really great learning experience, not only for her to share her expertise of me, but also some of her prompting questions or really great questions that.

212
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:14.110
Sean Thatcher: You know, you can include a lab course or you field reports that you would like to include in your own classes, especially when you are covering volcanism.

213
00:36:14.380 --> 00:36:25.330
Sean Thatcher: So you know, based on the current visually stunning, how many volcanoes do you see you know and they all look the same your colton creator SP prayer look very different, along with many of the other cynical is in the area.

214
00:36:26.290 --> 00:36:43.330
Sean Thatcher: and other prompting questions to you know, like a based on the current visual extent, please describe the general please describe what the general senior from volcano in area looks like you know their general shape the structure the colors the things of that nature click next.

215
00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:52.570
Sean Thatcher: So now what's going to do it's going to fly right into the SP crater base.

216
00:36:52.960 --> 00:37:03.550
Sean Thatcher: location, so when we were here what we did was we set up a base camp so half of our group ended up picking up the volcano to check things out and the other group stayed in the base area.

217
00:37:03.820 --> 00:37:09.340
Sean Thatcher: To be able to communicate with them as we were in one locations and sharing information with them, and vice versa.

218
00:37:09.640 --> 00:37:19.360
Sean Thatcher: So, not all students had all the same information so created this really great collaborative experience that went to really formulate some other virtual trips there's some other.

219
00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:28.720
Sean Thatcher: synchronous and asynchronous trips that we did in the future, so the image that's currently on your top right hand side of the screen was a.

220
00:37:29.590 --> 00:37:39.580
Sean Thatcher: image I obtained from Google earth pro just to show kind of what it looks like on the ground with an aspect, so it means that vertical exaggeration of one on a scale of zero to two.

221
00:37:40.540 --> 00:37:50.890
Sean Thatcher: But with you know so right here, you know you can really see that just in your local volcano is a relatively flat area, but this volcano itself is fairly steep so it's not exactly accessible.

222
00:37:51.640 --> 00:38:00.220
Sean Thatcher: Even for really equipped takers, especially since it's the data Center so really loose gravel piles and it was not easy for some people that hiked up.

223
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:10.060
Sean Thatcher: The senior corn, in general, but it was a really great experience to share those not only those visual cues but this physical experiences as well click next.

224
00:38:20.770 --> 00:38:29.200
Sean Thatcher: So now flies into the midway up the rim, and this was a photo that was actually taking my cousin this in the top right hand corner and.

225
00:38:29.890 --> 00:38:37.060
Sean Thatcher: They didn't you know it's a fairly scenic view of the area around and we're looking in the volcano that's right in front of us is colton crater.

226
00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:43.420
Sean Thatcher: You know, so you know these are one of those where it's like Okay, you know you can have a really great view of what the area looks like.

227
00:38:43.600 --> 00:38:56.110
Sean Thatcher: And then you can have students interpret that in their own words, so in your own words, please make your own observations about this volcano size, shape vegetation cover color and other features, you may observe.

228
00:38:56.590 --> 00:39:03.400
Sean Thatcher: From this vantage point, and you know, having an consistently prompting students to make interpretations of their own, or what makes.

229
00:39:04.330 --> 00:39:18.220
Sean Thatcher: These tours so incredible because you know we might emphasize some structures and some things that we see as experts, but they may see something that we just didn't catch up for that might be really nuanced or really interesting to them specifically click next.

230
00:39:25.090 --> 00:39:35.710
Sean Thatcher: So now it's going to do is going to bring us right up to the summit of SP crater on this was also another photo that was taken from my cousin but it provides excellent views of.

231
00:39:36.220 --> 00:39:50.260
Sean Thatcher: The summit of the volcano but also you know it makes things really interesting, so you know I you can measure the elevation of what this volcano is above sea level with some of the tools that are right in Google earth tours.

232
00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:57.670
Sean Thatcher: So all that information is go shopping in the bottom right hand corner of the screen it's cut off currently on zoom right now but.

233
00:39:58.210 --> 00:40:06.370
Sean Thatcher: I promise you they're there, so you know from here what you can do is you can really have students, you know, look at the height of sea level is for the specific location, you know.

234
00:40:06.940 --> 00:40:15.640
Sean Thatcher: what's the height of with the there you go yeah you can see the elevation down the bottom right hand corner and years right underneath that little globe.

235
00:40:16.900 --> 00:40:24.490
Sean Thatcher: what's the height above sea level of the greater insights you can measure the difference between the cinder Cone room itself and the prayer inside.

236
00:40:24.820 --> 00:40:35.770
Sean Thatcher: And you know you can really learn for evidence of a lava flow at the top estimate that I would not have, if I were to be at the base of the volcano itself click next.

237
00:40:44.830 --> 00:40:52.090
Sean Thatcher: Now he's gonna fly over to the other side of the volcano and have really nice looking at this really awesome the salted lava flow and you know.

238
00:40:53.320 --> 00:41:03.160
Sean Thatcher: Some questions that we would ask students to make some interpretations of you know why did the lava change direction when it was going in one direction, what is one was.

239
00:41:03.790 --> 00:41:07.570
Sean Thatcher: Going basically in the northwesterly direction and suddenly made sharp turn east.

240
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:21.040
Sean Thatcher: Other questions could really be do we see evidence of other lava flows in the area similar to SP crater, so this is a really easy answer, where we don't see any strong visual cues on the land surface of.

241
00:41:21.580 --> 00:41:23.590
Sean Thatcher: The Celtic lava flows, but they do exist.

242
00:41:24.070 --> 00:41:34.870
Sean Thatcher: Which we'll talk about on the next one, and you know, one of the questions are you know, do we see evidence of the lava flow on this portion of SP crater yes or no, and why do we think that it's you know.

243
00:41:35.260 --> 00:41:43.450
Sean Thatcher: when most people, especially students, think about a volcano, the only thing about lava flowing right down the side of it, so this is one of those really interesting locations of you know.

244
00:41:43.870 --> 00:41:55.810
Sean Thatcher: which came first the lava flow or the significant volcano or did they both have here, at the same time, and did something just changed later on, this is one of those concepts in this specific location, that is still being debated.

245
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:10.480
Sean Thatcher: Today, because you know it's so dynamic and unique and really interesting click next so now what we're going to do is we're going to fly out right to the lava flow base, and we have a bunch of images here that were provided by India Marshall.

246
00:42:12.100 --> 00:42:20.650
Sean Thatcher: And you know, so this is so we can you know drag around and look around on our own, but one really interesting feature that you would notice is that.

247
00:42:21.100 --> 00:42:28.870
Sean Thatcher: On these Masonic lava flows, you know there's darker shades of blacks reds and rusty colors you know which is not unexpected.

248
00:42:29.230 --> 00:42:37.330
Sean Thatcher: But there's also some really cool evidence of green in there, too, and that's all from water leaching out of these Celtic lava flows, a little bit more.

249
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:49.720
Sean Thatcher: Perfect job thanks with water leaching out a little bit more strongly than they would in locations, that are not the Celtic lava flow which, which provides a lot of support for vegetation in the area, so.

250
00:42:50.350 --> 00:42:56.980
Sean Thatcher: On the next on the next location we're going to bring that up again, where it's like you know, can you find evidence of other lava flows.

251
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:06.460
Sean Thatcher: And that's really looking for those vegetation outlines but what's one of the really interesting things about this very specific location, is where the lava flow originates.

252
00:43:06.730 --> 00:43:11.080
Sean Thatcher: So you know it starts at the base of that volcano right but there's a little bit of.

253
00:43:11.290 --> 00:43:18.100
Sean Thatcher: But there's a little bit of defamation at the base so that becomes one of those really great questions or get students to answer you either get laws of superposition.

254
00:43:18.430 --> 00:43:25.450
Sean Thatcher: Or you know need to really answer because you know there's no direct answer for that yet so their interpretations are going to be really great for this.

255
00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:33.040
Sean Thatcher: And this is the volcano colton Creator, which is darkening south of SP trader so not too far away.

256
00:43:34.270 --> 00:43:45.640
Sean Thatcher: And this one is formed a very similar way as SP crater but there was absolutely a change in the recruiting cycle.

257
00:43:47.440 --> 00:44:00.490
Sean Thatcher: And what happened was the senior cocaine here forms and then what happened was groundwater intruded into the erection and breathing lateral explosion that sent a lot of tough material.

258
00:44:00.970 --> 00:44:10.960
Sean Thatcher: flowing out over the area in general, so the one of the questions that we'd want students to be able to interpret is you know which direction did that material flow.

259
00:44:12.160 --> 00:44:20.950
Sean Thatcher: Another question very much so, the based on what we now know a water that reaches out from these Celtic lava flows are you know, can you see evidence of.

260
00:44:21.670 --> 00:44:36.700
Sean Thatcher: Other lava flows here and and the answer that is yes, you can you know in if you face north or Northwest you can see some outlets to some older lava flows based on not only the typography changes, but also the vegetation outlines.

261
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:46.570
Sean Thatcher: Also what's really great about colton crater is that there is a secondary cinder Cone within the cinder Cone so after that lateral eruption it created.

262
00:44:46.930 --> 00:44:57.070
Sean Thatcher: have enough energy left over for just a little bit more of an eruption that which created that secondary similar code so basically another way that we can have our students really investigate these areas are really with no.

263
00:44:58.060 --> 00:45:11.620
Sean Thatcher: US we see evidence of this in other locations in the clinic field is this uncommon and the answer to that is no, it is not uncommon at all, we see these actually in a lot of different really interesting locations.

264
00:45:13.120 --> 00:45:23.050
Sean Thatcher: And the last two locations are some economic values, so a lot of these Center cones in the area, as I mentioned before, are capable of being mined and.

265
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:37.030
Sean Thatcher: You know, one of that, and these are protected, because of the ranch that's there, but the mining operations or the removal of these Latinos left blemishes or scars that are really identifiable.

266
00:45:38.260 --> 00:45:44.500
Sean Thatcher: From aerial imagery but also when you get when you suddenly know what you're looking for you can really pick them out on your own.

267
00:45:44.950 --> 00:45:54.130
Sean Thatcher: So this is a group, this is a overview of Thomas suffering so basically many of the senior coaches in the area that have.

268
00:45:55.000 --> 00:46:07.150
Sean Thatcher: been mind for the economic value in this looking to sit upon us leave white scars on the area, so you know, basically, you know we would want us to really be able to answer questions of you know.

269
00:46:07.420 --> 00:46:23.350
Sean Thatcher: Why would pumice be in this area, what kind of conditions are appropriate for their formation and creation do these conditions apply to volcanoes like SP Creator, or are they more indicative of political leader, you know and really support their answer with their own observations.

270
00:46:24.670 --> 00:46:30.550
Sean Thatcher: And then we have a one more location that's right outside of flagstaff so what's going to do is it's going to fly right over there.

271
00:46:32.590 --> 00:46:34.720
Sean Thatcher: I know it's being a bit lagging and I do apologize.

272
00:46:37.180 --> 00:46:42.670
Sean Thatcher: it's going to bring us right into flagstaff and it's going to bring us to a secondary mine and.

273
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:59.050
Sean Thatcher: Nina Nina was sharing some really interesting stories about this location so she said, this is one of the most missed opportunities of science in the region so she said, the owner of this location is systematically mining this volcano or the cinder Cone.

274
00:47:00.160 --> 00:47:10.300
Sean Thatcher: Because it's his life mission to take it down but also he's doing a very systematically so layer by layer structure by structure, so in this location right now it's specifically for lava rocks.

275
00:47:10.720 --> 00:47:19.690
Sean Thatcher: There are some areas in here that are used as a concrete recycling factory and there have been times that they have mind police from this area as well, so.

276
00:47:20.140 --> 00:47:34.690
Sean Thatcher: it's also highly contested so just to backtrack for one second is, these are really red rocks in the area, or are those lava rocks So these are what you would find in you know those rock garden, you know they have these really awesome cool red rocks or you know.

277
00:47:36.040 --> 00:47:47.920
Sean Thatcher: or underlining front lawns or in really awesome cool fire pits and things like that, and so you know, but this area is also highly contested, because there is a hiking trail that goes.

278
00:47:49.270 --> 00:47:57.520
Sean Thatcher: right next to that is basically right by it and it's kind of an eyesore when you're walking by so there's been a pushback from the Community to really get.

279
00:47:58.420 --> 00:48:02.920
Sean Thatcher: The mind shut down because you know it's not as scenic as you would like.

280
00:48:03.340 --> 00:48:11.980
Sean Thatcher: There are also cultural heritage issues well because of glyphs that were left left by indigenous peoples that we're in this area and.

281
00:48:12.250 --> 00:48:24.400
Sean Thatcher: It really brings into that question of what kinds of considerations, need to be made and understood when dealing with communities, when these operations are going in place, so you know.

282
00:48:25.450 --> 00:48:34.060
Sean Thatcher: What kind of condition should be put in place to start mining operations, what kind of considerations poker we shouldn't have aware of these kinds of.

283
00:48:34.930 --> 00:48:41.920
Sean Thatcher: operations and things like that, where you know really get students to ask these critical questions of these areas, this.

284
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:46.690
Sean Thatcher: Nice tours are also fully available to be brought right into Google earth pro.

285
00:48:47.590 --> 00:48:53.350
Sean Thatcher: Where students can annotate them on their own and really create these really dynamic things where they can.

286
00:48:53.740 --> 00:49:03.910
Sean Thatcher: measure structures and top around profiles or analytic areas where they do see lava flows and trace them out, and you know we can go through and look at them and if there are mistakes we can go back and correct.

287
00:49:04.330 --> 00:49:12.010
Sean Thatcher: Correct them and Edit them really to provide not only an interactive way that students can learn in a virtual environment, but also a way that doesn't.

288
00:49:12.430 --> 00:49:24.340
Sean Thatcher: That does not inhibit them from making their own observations and sharing them with friends and colleagues to really have a more enriching experience um does anybody have any questions on the Google tours in general.

289
00:49:26.260 --> 00:49:28.480
Sean Thatcher: and feel free to unmute yourselves as well, no problems.

290
00:49:33.100 --> 00:49:39.280
Katrin Monecke: I have a question, so you said you did this in two to three hours, he put this whole tour together.

291
00:49:40.810 --> 00:49:52.540
Sean Thatcher: Yes, and so what is great is the new the wet with the updated version of Google tours are you can go right in, and you can drop a pin.

292
00:49:52.990 --> 00:50:09.040
Sean Thatcher: And you can add your own description of it, and you can add in hyperlinks, and all this other great stuff and then you can jump right to another location as well, so the technological barriers that were originally there when you were creating tours and Google earth pro.

293
00:50:10.120 --> 00:50:19.630
Sean Thatcher: It was it was funky it was cumbersome I wouldn't really frustrating, especially for me to work with I I never had a good experience with it when when it came out in 2013, but when they revamped it in 2019.

294
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:30.280
Sean Thatcher: They really did a good job of revamping it to become more user friendly so rather than just simply being able to use these tour features in cities.

295
00:50:30.610 --> 00:50:35.380
Sean Thatcher: You can create them in remote locations like volcanic like in the middle of the cattle ranch.

296
00:50:35.830 --> 00:50:45.010
Sean Thatcher: Or you can even have much larger areas if you have multiple fields sites so it's also a great tool for students to investigate it feels like beforehand.

297
00:50:45.580 --> 00:50:55.090
Sean Thatcher: Because they can bring those Google earth tours with them right into their own Google earth on their mobile devices and, if not everybody has a phone they can share and stuff like that which is great.

298
00:50:56.590 --> 00:50:58.000
Katrin Monecke: Thank you very cool.

299
00:51:01.810 --> 00:51:07.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, any other questions for Sean about SP prater Google tours or.

300
00:51:09.640 --> 00:51:14.350
Erika Amir-Lin: I have a question about the annotation I really liked what you mentioned about.

301
00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:27.340
Erika Amir-Lin: Students being able to put it in Google earth pro and do the annotations is there a way to collect all those on a single map, so that everyone could look at everyone else's annotations.

302
00:51:28.930 --> 00:51:41.230
Sean Thatcher: So I have not found a way to import everyone's so basically what happens is when you open this on your own it will open in your own Google earth and then you would open your open or pro.

303
00:51:41.530 --> 00:51:53.290
Sean Thatcher: So what you could do is you everybody could create their own right and then you can export those hands and files and you can open them all on one Google earth pro that you can share.

304
00:51:53.770 --> 00:52:00.070
Sean Thatcher: But there's not a way to have one collective Google earth pro that everyone can get it don't have to share the cams and file back and forth.

305
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:02.230
Erika Amir-Lin: Okay alright thanks.

306
00:52:03.550 --> 00:52:04.180
Sean Thatcher: yeah no problem.

307
00:52:08.020 --> 00:52:08.800
Sean Thatcher: Any other questions.

308
00:52:10.810 --> 00:52:17.410
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): While you're doing that i'm gonna throw up a link in chat to the Google drive folder we set up for the morning workshop.

309
00:52:18.790 --> 00:52:30.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We hit return on that and, in that, in that folder you should find some useful docs with resources are the resources Doc contains a link to my web page with all my 3D stuff on it.

310
00:52:31.390 --> 00:52:51.100
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And I think i've just moved over the shortcut to sean's tour of SP crater and we can make sure that there's a link in there as well, to how to do tours in in Google earth, there should be a slide in our presentation from this morning that has that link as well.

311
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:57.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But any any other questions discussion on on on SP.

312
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:19.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, I know it's a little bit outside Connecticut geology, but this is actually one of the places I learned volcanology back when I was a graduate student, so I like sharing it and it's an example of.

313
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:26.290
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A volcanic structure that I just we can't take our students to so it's fantastic that we can do it virtually.

314
00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:29.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But let's move on here.

315
00:53:30.880 --> 00:53:32.650
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And where is my next.

316
00:53:34.450 --> 00:53:34.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh.

317
00:53:35.830 --> 00:53:54.040
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): What did poorly did not save the page, I wanted to do and that is to let's tie this back to Connecticut and we're going to use here some well some panoramic imagery, these are the salts from the target in Meriden.

318
00:53:55.210 --> 00:53:56.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): When these are located.

319
00:53:57.730 --> 00:54:09.700
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): These are gorgeous and they are behind the target the drawback to this is because they are mineralized they have been picked over by collectors and.

320
00:54:09.730 --> 00:54:10.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): target is very.

321
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:19.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): twitchy about people that are back there we basically had to sign away like our firstborn can get permission to take pictures when we did these a few years ago.

322
00:54:20.500 --> 00:54:41.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But there is there and so maybe with the photographs and for permission from target if you show us so if you ask for it, we can get in and visualize some of the salts in the region, I believe this is part of the toolkit basalt the bottom of the stack of three basalt units.

323
00:54:42.820 --> 00:55:01.480
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we can observe the structures in the pillows in this in this region, so I think, hopefully, even my one on one even was just kind of the one on one geology if we have a pillar of salt what is that telling us about the basalt in Connecticut.

324
00:55:04.180 --> 00:55:07.810
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): about the environments, maybe they were deposited in.

325
00:55:13.930 --> 00:55:20.650
Alexander Zdzinski: you'll blow water Missouri whether we'd be fresh water or.

326
00:55:21.670 --> 00:55:24.610
Alexander Zdzinski: you'll see but something dropped it into water.

327
00:55:26.230 --> 00:55:26.530
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): jack.

328
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:39.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Whatever whatever body of water, it was for had to enter an interruption underwater to create on the pillows so now we're starting to get into the connection between.

329
00:55:40.150 --> 00:55:58.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The assaults and the sediments, which is the direction we're eventually going to go on, I really wanted to have a nice video of the drive up to this particular location, because you get a very nice view of the.

330
00:56:00.640 --> 00:56:15.460
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): hanging hell's behind the the target I think there's one of these pans you can see that the distant hilltop beyond is also one of these basalt CAP ridges these resistant to a road in there sticking up.

331
00:56:17.710 --> 00:56:18.400
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): as well.

332
00:56:21.700 --> 00:56:24.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we do have Those are our basalts.

333
00:56:25.960 --> 00:56:32.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The source of the basalt since i'm on basalt and we're going to do that is we're going to take a little bit of a drive down route nine.

334
00:56:34.300 --> 00:56:46.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And this is an easy one to remember if you're in Connecticut is go South on route nine to you get to exit nine and you have to be headed south to see this right along the exit ramp.

335
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:49.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Is.

336
00:56:50.860 --> 00:57:00.460
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): going to ship, let me see if I can zoom this little bit better we have this outcrop here and we can pull over and maybe we can get.

337
00:57:02.110 --> 00:57:07.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): With a little help we can get a wheelchair out of the van and up to this out prop this is.

338
00:57:08.230 --> 00:57:10.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Our crop of the hagen and dying.

339
00:57:12.850 --> 00:57:25.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we can see the hagen i'm dying, as this is actually out in it's on the eastern side of the eastern border fault, so it is to the east of the rift valley and it's preserved inside the metamorphic units.

340
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:42.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): In that volcanic arch terrain and so there's a straight red line that goes right up the geologic map up into Massachusetts again, this is the hagen and dyken it's it's part of the feeder system for.

341
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:52.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The basalts that we see at other locations and you can just kind of barely pick out, we have a student standing here for scale.

342
00:57:54.850 --> 00:58:02.860
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): With his vest on because we are standing on the side of an exit ramp, so this is a great example of a place where we can do accessible do.

343
00:58:03.730 --> 00:58:13.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Is we can pull right up with this and, yes, you can get a wheelchair out and around here, but even if you don't you can still have a long discussion about.

344
00:58:14.980 --> 00:58:22.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): What kind of rock this is how can you identify you know, this is a intro geology trip that we're taking here so.

345
00:58:22.930 --> 00:58:27.250
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): You know, asking them what kind of rock is it, how do you identify it what's its composition.

346
00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:42.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then, with our upper level students, we can do a little bit more, and ask them, you know how could you tell this is a day, how can you know how could you differentiate this from maybe a flow unit or from the results of the pillow results that we saw earlier.

347
00:58:44.710 --> 00:58:46.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay well.

348
00:58:47.470 --> 00:58:50.650
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I zoomed in I now can manipulate my own website.

349
00:58:53.080 --> 00:58:58.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I do want to take you now, though we're going to do a little video drive will go back up to.

350
00:58:59.740 --> 00:59:01.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Go back up to new Britain.

351
00:59:02.020 --> 00:59:09.700
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we'll come back to this area at some point but we're going to head down now through driving.

352
00:59:11.650 --> 00:59:14.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we're driving kind of South ish through new Britain.

353
00:59:16.060 --> 00:59:24.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And you can see again and we have some outcrops here on the left and we're going to go through a series of outcrops along this is route nine.

354
00:59:26.770 --> 00:59:28.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And again, we see.

355
00:59:29.650 --> 00:59:32.980
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Those assaults and how resistant, they are and how they stick up.

356
00:59:35.320 --> 00:59:39.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And kind of get in the way and i'd love to stop and just get out and look at these but.

357
00:59:41.050 --> 00:59:43.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I know we would get run over.

358
00:59:44.830 --> 00:59:52.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we're going to find a spot, though, where we can look at the cemetery units, and this is one of my favorite places in.

359
00:59:53.860 --> 01:00:05.080
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is one of my favorite places to take to take students, it really is so we've we've gotten off here, and that is the interchange between nine and 15 and anybody who's done Connecticut.

360
01:00:05.860 --> 01:00:14.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): hartford basis, probably recognize this this cell call we're gonna pull up here and just past the edge of that guardrail you can share pull off, we can pull out here.

361
01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:16.750
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If we wanted.

362
01:00:19.450 --> 01:00:29.860
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This isn't terribly say safe location, you really do need to be paying attention to what you're doing, because you are on a Friday, on an on ramp but this.

363
01:00:30.310 --> 01:00:41.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): When it's not Monday and snowy is definitely accessible, you can pull over you can get out of the car, you can get a wheelchair out and then you have.

364
01:00:42.850 --> 01:00:44.350
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): pavement access.

365
01:00:46.690 --> 01:01:01.060
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Again carefully don't get run over traffic watch the traffic we're going to cross the street here and I want to look at the sediments that are exposed in this outcrop to the left and then we'll.

366
01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:06.310
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): also have a panorama of the ones that are off to our right.

367
01:01:08.500 --> 01:01:21.250
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me find where I put that webpage sorry my zoom bar hides my the tops of my arm my web browser so I can't flip between the tabs as quickly as i'd like to.

368
01:01:25.330 --> 01:01:29.470
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we're going to use those panoramic images again.

369
01:01:30.820 --> 01:01:38.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But this particular viewer will let me do this so there's the outcrop that's in the Center of that.

370
01:01:40.510 --> 01:01:45.070
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That video so we parked over on the right we've crossed the road we've come to the Center of the.

371
01:01:46.120 --> 01:01:47.080
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That little island.

372
01:01:48.430 --> 01:01:57.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): let's just make some quick observations, these are these are sedentary units so So what are some observations we can just throw out about these units, as we look at them here.

373
01:02:10.150 --> 01:02:11.530
Bill Burton: Rather, finally layered.

374
01:02:15.190 --> 01:02:23.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We got layers fight we've got well, we got layers I want to say, we got layers at different scales are they they're not even all the same colors, but we do have some nice.

375
01:02:24.940 --> 01:02:25.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): let's get in here.

376
01:02:27.700 --> 01:02:33.130
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We do have some nice kind of laminate down in when we get in life, you close.

377
01:02:34.570 --> 01:02:37.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): What else can we tell about these about these rocks from you.

378
01:02:38.860 --> 01:02:44.110
Alexander Zdzinski: Is it dipping to the live, I mean to blab right side of the frame.

379
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:45.700
Alexander Zdzinski: Was the.

380
01:02:45.790 --> 01:02:47.170
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): way to K are there.

381
01:02:48.820 --> 01:02:54.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And they are dipping a little bit there um I can't tell you for sure what the dip is off.

382
01:02:56.080 --> 01:02:59.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): off hand it's kind of escaping my brain at the moment.

383
01:03:00.460 --> 01:03:04.480
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): um but it's not just it's not just the.

384
01:03:06.100 --> 01:03:08.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Not just the ground surface or the camera.

385
01:03:11.950 --> 01:03:16.060
Erika Amir-Lin: looks like maybe read beds on top so changes in deposition environment.

386
01:03:17.410 --> 01:03:23.050
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): changes and deposition environments that's the key and again i'm a.

387
01:03:24.430 --> 01:03:30.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We take our interest students here, and this is just one of the first things that that they can observe.

388
01:03:31.570 --> 01:03:45.190
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): is to ask them okay well what kind of rock is this rock makes layers but what are the different colors and what do you think the different colors mean so we've got to change in a deposition environment on this kind of reddish.

389
01:03:46.540 --> 01:03:49.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): units at the top, what kind of.

390
01:03:51.490 --> 01:03:55.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): big picture, environment, do we would we ascribe to the to the reddish.

391
01:03:57.340 --> 01:03:57.820
Alexander Zdzinski: and

392
01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:02.530
Alexander Zdzinski: Relatively oxygen rich least in terms of.

393
01:04:04.570 --> 01:04:17.020
Alexander Zdzinski: You know, generating red Benson and it may be, if that fluctuates it may be responsible for your between anoxic coming on and oxygen rich that might cause some.

394
01:04:18.220 --> 01:04:20.680
Alexander Zdzinski: Do fluctuation in the bed susie.

395
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:31.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So let's go down here since we're talking about oxy mercury toxic let's get in with this dark laminated stuff down here um.

396
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:34.750
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Is that kind of fit in with that same idea.

397
01:04:41.980 --> 01:04:49.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Does this fit the kind of a story that we have a chain, from an oxygen to an oxygen environment as we go down section.

398
01:04:51.910 --> 01:04:53.710
Bill Burton: These look like lake beds there.

399
01:04:55.090 --> 01:05:00.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah this, these are these are interpreted as an object leech.

400
01:05:01.660 --> 01:05:10.870
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That sediments and there's a reason that this website is the web page is called lake settlements, I kind of give it away and my titles terrible habit.

401
01:05:12.730 --> 01:05:23.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But that's the that's really the reason to to look at this this outcrop and again it's the reason we bring our interest students here is, we have a change from oxygen to an oxygen.

402
01:05:24.970 --> 01:05:37.990
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And if we look down here, because the units are kind of tipping and maybe the ground isn't as level as you'd like it to be, we have more of the Arctic poking out at the very kind of left corner of this pan.

403
01:05:41.230 --> 01:05:44.620
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And in fact the beauty of this oh it's not working.

404
01:05:46.330 --> 01:05:46.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm.

405
01:05:47.800 --> 01:06:05.170
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): used to be able to annotate and drawn this and it's not working for me today so there's our and knock her are toxic stuff again we've got our red beds transitioning down into the kind of wake bottom sediment milestones organic rich stuff and back up again into.

406
01:06:07.330 --> 01:06:09.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Those oxide read bed environments.

407
01:06:11.140 --> 01:06:14.080
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is our classics serving go ahead.

408
01:06:14.560 --> 01:06:18.220
Bill Burton: are just saying, are these settlements between flows whistle blows.

409
01:06:20.830 --> 01:06:31.810
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There is a basalt flow that goes over the top of them and i'm going to i'm going to do something very weird and say, if you go up and around the corner.

410
01:06:33.190 --> 01:06:38.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): which will do in a SEC, there is up assault flow that kind of goes over the top of them and.

411
01:06:39.700 --> 01:06:49.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Of course, at the moment I can't remember which one of the salted is but it's one of the ones in the lower the lower to basalt cities that Falconer the Holy oh.

412
01:06:51.130 --> 01:06:51.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I was just watching.

413
01:06:51.790 --> 01:06:52.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): These are lower.

414
01:06:54.070 --> 01:06:59.680
Bill Burton: I was wondering if there is a possibility of Horn fills to also contribute to the color team.

415
01:07:01.540 --> 01:07:11.950
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): up there would be, but not in this particular clump of roxy's or neither probably a bit below the salt.

416
01:07:13.660 --> 01:07:17.290
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): will probably she the one when we come back up to new Britain will see the Horn cells.

417
01:07:19.690 --> 01:07:25.780
Sean Thatcher: So we have some comments in the chat that this is the Hampton the salt, this is the East.

418
01:07:26.080 --> 01:07:27.580
Sean Thatcher: Peter yeah.

419
01:07:27.700 --> 01:07:28.510
Sean Thatcher: i'm okay.

420
01:07:29.020 --> 01:07:33.250
Sean Thatcher: i'm questions well or are these photos available on the SEC SEC website.

421
01:07:34.540 --> 01:07:36.550
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Yes, these photos are available.

422
01:07:38.260 --> 01:07:41.110
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Thank you for letting me know it's the hand and and not the other two.

423
01:07:42.460 --> 01:07:43.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I get those basalts confused.

424
01:07:46.120 --> 01:07:48.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): How do I exit full screen here so.

425
01:07:50.530 --> 01:07:56.410
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is i'm i'm just going to copy and paste.

426
01:07:57.880 --> 01:08:06.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If you go to this, you can get to this website and then you've got access to all of the various other links from here, but I wanted to show you was.

427
01:08:08.980 --> 01:08:15.190
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me scroll down a little bit and the the Connecticut geologists in the room will know.

428
01:08:16.300 --> 01:08:23.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hopefully, will know, the reference that it was letourneau at all and that 1985 proposed that these were.

429
01:08:24.790 --> 01:08:42.640
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Evidence of milenkovic cycles that this is the best image, but on the right side of this on ramp we can actually see those cycles repeating so we've got red into the dark again and then coming up into the red and as we go up.

430
01:08:44.650 --> 01:08:58.060
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This section it repeats and if you aren't there on a day when it's crappy and wet and you can see, the different layers there are actually four of these oxygen and oxygen oxygen oxygen oxygen anoxic cycles.

431
01:08:59.890 --> 01:09:08.290
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And those will tie up very nicely with the 1000 year he's interested he cycle of your that matches with the.

432
01:09:09.460 --> 01:09:19.810
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): With the gates from some of these, so we can use this with our students to talk about a discussion of natural climate change orbital climate change.

433
01:09:20.260 --> 01:09:45.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The timescales involves that's an awful lot of sediment for 100,000 years right, and the fact that we're seeing this recorded in these settlements so it's a cyclical kind of wedding and drying where we have sort of apply a late louie Vito fan kind of environment in the reddish.

434
01:09:47.590 --> 01:09:51.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): In the reddish units and then a little wetter.

435
01:09:53.170 --> 01:09:58.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): anoxic leak bottom environment circling back in in the.

436
01:10:00.280 --> 01:10:10.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): In the lake bottom sediments some of these other pans on here, I was trying to get a kind of up close and personal with some of the late stage.

437
01:10:13.210 --> 01:10:21.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): pectin ISM are joining, and then we do have some fluid migration along the fractures in this, and this is supposed to be some of these sort of.

438
01:10:23.350 --> 01:10:31.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): crusey corti deposits and there are some some interesting fluid inclusions in there.

439
01:10:32.710 --> 01:10:33.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): as well.

440
01:10:35.290 --> 01:10:55.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But again, this is something that i'm with the interest students I skip this but with our are more advanced students, we can get up there and talk about food flow and basins and then how that relates to tectonic history and then even into hydrocarbon mobilization.

441
01:10:57.850 --> 01:11:00.280
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Right, this is where i'm going to jump the.

442
01:11:01.300 --> 01:11:04.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm going to cheat we can.

443
01:11:05.650 --> 01:11:06.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we're all virtual.

444
01:11:07.810 --> 01:11:13.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah i'm go someplace else let's go to a place where we think we also have this going on.

445
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:17.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And I have lost that site yeah tonight.

446
01:11:20.230 --> 01:11:21.640
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh i've got to get out of the full screen.

447
01:11:24.190 --> 01:11:26.290
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And I want to go to.

448
01:11:27.700 --> 01:11:28.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There we go.

449
01:11:32.260 --> 01:11:33.070
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We switch.

450
01:11:34.660 --> 01:11:39.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, my apologies if i'm mocking up the switching and not doing it very well.

451
01:11:42.430 --> 01:11:43.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I want to go to.

452
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:46.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): bars.

453
01:11:47.800 --> 01:12:02.110
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I want to go to Mars, because I look at those outcrops that route 915 and what I see in my head as planetary scientists, as I see gale crater on Mars, this is a location of the curiosity Rover.

454
01:12:04.090 --> 01:12:05.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Which landed just.

455
01:12:08.110 --> 01:12:19.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That kind of North ish of this large mound of layered rocks in the Center of this greater and we're looking here this an orbital image, there is a large.

456
01:12:23.230 --> 01:12:29.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Several kilometer high mound of rocks that at least from orbit appeared to be layered.

457
01:12:31.270 --> 01:12:40.030
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And, rather than i'm not going to go through the pre mission virgin let's go through the host mission version which is.

458
01:12:42.190 --> 01:12:52.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That these settlements so we're seeing a gale are potentially a kind of analogous to what we see it route nine and we're 15 in the East Berlin formation.

459
01:12:53.560 --> 01:13:08.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And that is that we have a cyclical series of sort of wedding and drying the dark rocks here sort of represent those lake bottom sediments again, and then we have the luteal fans and stream deposits that overlay them.

460
01:13:09.760 --> 01:13:24.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But what happened in gail is a little bit different that, rather than being exposed by tectonic activity or reporting or whatever those are just the ones in gail were exposed by erosion, so the sediment stack built up.

461
01:13:26.770 --> 01:13:37.240
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Three and a half 4 billion years ago and Mars was had a little bit of a different climate and it had sort of the series of wedding and drawing periods and then.

462
01:13:38.710 --> 01:13:48.520
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Since then it's been just really modified by wind erosion and that wind erosion has sculpted that funky shaped mound in the Center of gail.

463
01:13:50.260 --> 01:13:52.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hopefully these links will.

464
01:13:53.470 --> 01:13:55.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): they'll open, I may have to.

465
01:13:56.590 --> 01:13:58.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): share in a different window.

466
01:14:01.900 --> 01:14:11.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Actually, let me before I leave this, let me go to what we think's going on in this particular field gail is that, again we have a series of these.

467
01:14:14.170 --> 01:14:26.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Just kind of a cyclical series of sand stones and conglomerates, then transitioning into milestones transitioning back out again into something that is.

468
01:14:27.670 --> 01:14:40.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Cross bedded or cross stratified and back again into laminated mud stones and what i'm going to switch to is a panoramic view of Mars in a location, called the Murray view.

469
01:14:41.320 --> 01:14:50.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And the Murray future is kind of right in this same kind of section that we're looking at in in East Berlin that we have these.

470
01:14:51.700 --> 01:14:54.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Again we're looking at a cyclical series and we're kind of.

471
01:14:54.820 --> 01:14:56.530
Looking at where they're exposed.

472
01:14:58.150 --> 01:14:59.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And and outcrop.

473
01:15:01.270 --> 01:15:04.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And yeah I have them all over my desktop.

474
01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:13.030
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is a website called the MARS analysts notebook and.

475
01:15:14.980 --> 01:15:15.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): it's a little bit.

476
01:15:17.200 --> 01:15:18.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): arcane to navigate.

477
01:15:19.090 --> 01:15:20.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So it's not something I usually.

478
01:15:22.150 --> 01:15:30.520
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): recommend adding to unless you want to dive into the details of falls and whatnot, but this has just a very good.

479
01:15:31.480 --> 01:15:32.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We hide that slide.

480
01:15:34.150 --> 01:15:42.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is that same kind of idea we're looking here at these Dudes that are wrote it out at the bottom of that large mountain and gail.

481
01:15:43.510 --> 01:15:51.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And here are the different units that we see do we see the same kinds of color changes that we observed in.

482
01:15:52.930 --> 01:15:53.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): In East Berlin.

483
01:15:55.450 --> 01:15:55.870
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Berlin.

484
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:06.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That kind of read the bottom and we're kind of leafy Greens or Brown.

485
01:16:07.420 --> 01:16:09.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): blacks at the top.

486
01:16:13.360 --> 01:16:21.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we can do with these panoramic images kind of this team kind of have examinations on Mars, that we would have done.

487
01:16:23.740 --> 01:16:30.280
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): At the red said outcrop and there's much less chance that we're going to read get run over by a tractor trailer on the way back to the car.

488
01:16:32.500 --> 01:16:32.860
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay.

489
01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:37.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I know i've been talking for a while, so are there any questions.

490
01:16:38.890 --> 01:16:40.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That folks have at this point.

491
01:16:45.280 --> 01:16:46.000
Henry Berry: yeah.

492
01:16:47.080 --> 01:16:50.620
Henry Berry: I just saw I had an accessibility question.

493
01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:52.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So those are.

494
01:16:53.380 --> 01:16:58.630
Henry Berry: Those road cuts well roadside outcrops route nine and those.

495
01:17:00.190 --> 01:17:09.070
Henry Berry: What what I would do if I were there is I would want to get close to the rock you know with a hand lens and look at the texture and and.

496
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:26.260
Henry Berry: And i'm wondering if you I mean do you go the you know, try to get samples of off the outcrop and bring them back to two people, the participants that that can't actually get on the outcrop you know that can get close so.

497
01:17:26.710 --> 01:17:33.250
Henry Berry: In other words, there's there are some things that you can see from you know 10 feet back.

498
01:17:34.270 --> 01:17:48.970
Henry Berry: As you're describing the you know the sort of the layering and the color changes, but the texture you know getting right up close, you need a piece of the Rock or you need to be on the rock and so is there a way you you accommodate for that.

499
01:17:54.220 --> 01:18:04.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): you're getting you're getting kind of the well that's the nitty gritty of it isn't it that, yes, ideally, you would get right up to the outcrop and.

500
01:18:06.580 --> 01:18:10.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): that's actually going to be reasonably difficult at some of these sites.

501
01:18:12.250 --> 01:18:22.990
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So you're right on kind of the money there with it, which is get as close as you can and then use the people that you know, use the group that you're with to help you.

502
01:18:24.370 --> 01:18:41.560
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): either get a sample from the ground or to maybe use a little bit of technology to get up to the outcrop it's not the same as maybe putting your nose up on it with a hand lens, but you can bring a video camera and and get up close and really.

503
01:18:45.670 --> 01:18:50.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): get as close as you can to actually being there you cannot actually get up to it and.

504
01:18:51.340 --> 01:18:52.360
Henry Berry: bring it bring a piece.

505
01:18:52.420 --> 01:18:53.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): with you, unfortunately I.

506
01:18:55.330 --> 01:18:56.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Know we're now.

507
01:18:56.980 --> 01:18:58.240
Bill Burton: What about binoculars.

508
01:19:00.970 --> 01:19:03.130
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And i've not had luck with binoculars they don't.

509
01:19:03.130 --> 01:19:09.310
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Work for me, but I don't know if anyone else had good luck with binoculars at a field site like this.

510
01:19:14.980 --> 01:19:26.830
Henry Berry: I mean I use them, sometimes myself, just like this, the one that's on the screen there that that's pretty treacherous to get up close it's actually dangerous.

511
01:19:27.970 --> 01:19:29.590
Henry Berry: Just for rockfalls so.

512
01:19:31.750 --> 01:19:32.080
Henry Berry: But.

513
01:19:32.170 --> 01:19:34.990
Henry Berry: But the important I mean some of the important observations are the.

514
01:19:35.110 --> 01:19:42.760
Henry Berry: You know the layering and the and the texture in those it individual layers so some of that fine detail is.

515
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:57.700
Henry Berry: Is tricky to get at, but you want to try to think of some way to get at that somehow yeah I just I just as we're looking at this i'm just trying to think get that options and I didn't know if you had any ideas or tricks.

516
01:19:59.050 --> 01:19:59.620
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Well, oh.

517
01:19:59.980 --> 01:20:00.640
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): hang on.

518
01:20:03.280 --> 01:20:12.610
Janet Wert Crampton: I have long it's been 10 years now since I could climb up on the rocks and I rely on the.

519
01:20:15.610 --> 01:20:25.570
Janet Wert Crampton: Those who are agile enough to bring back pieces and I often just sitting on the edge of the van or on the running word.

520
01:20:25.870 --> 01:20:45.220
Janet Wert Crampton: And having pieces run to me that I can look at otherwise is not safe for me to to go scrambling up there anymore, I think you're on a major field trip that's my graduate students are for this for for sample delivery.

521
01:20:48.010 --> 01:20:52.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Now, and that's it bring a field partner and that's usually my technique to.

522
01:20:54.700 --> 01:21:05.800
Sean Thatcher: yeah, and this is where we get into a lot of those collaborative field learning experiences are really enriching for all parties involved, where you know yeah you know one person may not be able to do everything that the other can do.

523
01:21:06.250 --> 01:21:14.290
Sean Thatcher: But by working together in a collaborative way, we can share and bounce ideas off each other DEMO more enriching experience for everyone that's involved.

524
01:21:16.420 --> 01:21:31.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And this is where I was kind of waiting on this and helping and nita would jump in but she's not been able to um, so this is our colleague Nina Marshall at the University of Florida, she has a an nsf funded project to provide.

525
01:21:32.710 --> 01:21:40.990
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): feel technologies lending lending library a few technologies to enable these kinds of accessible.

526
01:21:44.140 --> 01:21:51.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): collaborations in the field, and so I have to put a plug in for for her project it's called the lift kit.

527
01:21:52.690 --> 01:22:02.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And the whole idea is that they have accumulated a library of ipads gopros drones.

528
01:22:04.480 --> 01:22:06.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Over on the left there you see.

529
01:22:07.420 --> 01:22:18.070
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Another one of our colleagues Trevor with a portable local area network that can be deployed in the field if there's not enough cell signal to connect your ipads or gopros.

530
01:22:18.790 --> 01:22:43.180
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So the whole idea with the lift kit is to provide access to this technology for educators that don't have the funds or the time or the expertise to go out and buy your own stuff to do on this kind of remote collaboration so i'm going to do a little plug for.

531
01:22:44.380 --> 01:22:48.850
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): One of the projects that that we were involved in Sean and nita and myself, was.

532
01:22:50.170 --> 01:23:00.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Usually utilize these technologies to do field mapping with students have different mobility ability levels so we had.

533
01:23:02.980 --> 01:23:21.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A mixed cohort of students with mobility, disabilities and students without and we were able to create a structure map of this portion of Connemara in Ireland, the road outcrops are fully accessible or moderately accessible, if you don't fall in the drainage ditch.

534
01:23:22.870 --> 01:23:25.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And so the students that.

535
01:23:27.550 --> 01:23:33.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we're not able to hike the bog were able to do detailed structure and.

536
01:23:35.860 --> 01:23:40.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): describe outcrop descriptions along the soul, this is an old railway.

537
01:23:41.590 --> 01:23:57.130
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Know railroad Canyon and then the other students in the group were able to go out into the bog and using ipads and gopro they could connect and share their observations and then by.

538
01:23:57.580 --> 01:24:05.620
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Submitting those observations via iPad they were able to dump them all kind of into a collaborative structural map of the region.

539
01:24:07.300 --> 01:24:20.170
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So, and this was three days, this is actually a an exercise that is part of the James Madison university field camp, and so we were able to adapt it using this kind of technology.

540
01:24:22.570 --> 01:24:29.650
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we use it again, this is a synchronous collaboration with a completely inaccessible outcrop on the on the Gold Coast.

541
01:24:30.280 --> 01:24:40.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We have students down here studying glacial deposits and our virtual participants had to hang out in the van because the it was too windy to.

542
01:24:41.410 --> 01:24:54.040
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): to actually do walkie talkie communication outside, so we have remote participants in the van who are sharing their own observations to correctly interpret these clitoral deposit.

543
01:24:54.850 --> 01:25:06.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So again, this is my plug if this technology is something that you are interested in, but you don't think you have the resources or you just really don't have the expert someone to talk to somebody.

544
01:25:07.150 --> 01:25:17.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): about the the lift kit is linked off of the add website, and you can get in touch with a neediest through there, or we can.

545
01:25:19.150 --> 01:25:22.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Or you can email one of us through the field trip and we'll get on.

546
01:25:23.260 --> 01:25:24.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I will get back to you.

547
01:25:24.610 --> 01:25:33.250
Sean Thatcher: yeah and just as a like a full list of things that we currently have with the lift kit we have rubberized iPad some gopros.

548
01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:40.510
Sean Thatcher: portal wi fi equipment networking equipment, so not only just those local area network towers, that you can see our friend Trevor standing next to you.

549
01:25:40.930 --> 01:25:51.490
Sean Thatcher: But actual hotspots in general, we have a couple drones some battery packs external ones that you can use in the field and a few other things as well.

550
01:25:51.970 --> 01:26:00.160
Sean Thatcher: We also do have an iPad that can do 3D scans or rocks and outcrops, which is also a really great way to not only collect data and analyze it as.

551
01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:09.250
Sean Thatcher: Later on, as well, a lot of these kits are customizable so you don't need to ask for everything it's a library of equipment that.

552
01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:18.550
Sean Thatcher: Technology specialist can help you determine what you would need for the projects that you're running and yeah get in touch with Anita or one of us, and we will absolutely help you put all this together.

553
01:26:21.880 --> 01:26:26.380
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And one more shameless plug it's I can i'm.

554
01:26:28.060 --> 01:26:36.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is an upcoming project we're hoping to get started on it, this summer coven pending, and that is.

555
01:26:37.330 --> 01:26:51.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Again, this is something that I need a Sean and I are working on together, this is the geospace project we are working to develop fully accessible planetary geology geophysics field course.

556
01:26:52.150 --> 01:27:01.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): It would be a two week field course that could serve as a portion of could serve as a field camp module or a field camp course and.

557
01:27:03.280 --> 01:27:12.850
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We will be recruiting for the first kind of batch of students, not this year but probably starting next year and so again, we can.

558
01:27:14.200 --> 01:27:18.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): pick I can copy that link address i'll drop that link dress into the chat you can sign up.

559
01:27:19.900 --> 01:27:34.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): To get updates for when we start recruiting for this, and this particular course will take will take place in northern Arizona, and we will probably be using Sean store of SP crater as a pre tour for.

560
01:27:35.470 --> 01:27:36.400
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): One of our field stops.

561
01:27:38.440 --> 01:27:41.470
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, speaking of field stops and field trips and whatnot.

562
01:27:43.810 --> 01:28:01.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I don't have a huge lot of stuff more to do, but I do have enough that I think it's it's worse to say hey let's take a break i'm with everybody like maybe a 510 minute bathroom beverage break and we'll reconvene at shea 20th.

563
01:28:05.320 --> 01:28:06.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If that's amenable.

564
01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:11.230
Sean Thatcher: yeah that sounds good um does anybody else have any questions about that.

565
01:28:16.330 --> 01:28:16.630
alright.

566
01:28:18.220 --> 01:28:34.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Alright i'm going to stop sharing for a little bit, and we will catch up, I have i'm not going to go the full till five o'clock so we'll do some glacial deposits, a couple sites after the break we'll See you in a five or 10.

567
01:28:34.001 --> 01:28:37.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hopefully, everybody is.

568
01:28:39.980 --> 01:28:41.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Maybe making their way back.

569
01:28:45.140 --> 01:28:49.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I think, having having breaks is useful, I know it's really easy with zoom to just sort of.

570
01:28:51.200 --> 01:28:58.520
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I don't know I can talk about MARS and whatnot for hours and not realize that nobody's paying attention so.

571
01:29:01.370 --> 01:29:02.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): you're doing great again.

572
01:29:02.960 --> 01:29:08.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Thank you for sticking around I just have a couple more locations that I.

573
01:29:09.800 --> 01:29:11.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That, I think we can talk about.

574
01:29:12.740 --> 01:29:17.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): doing some accessible geology actually um I won't.

575
01:29:17.630 --> 01:29:21.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): go there, but i'm going to mention briefly that there's also some.

576
01:29:21.380 --> 01:29:21.860
On.

577
01:29:23.540 --> 01:29:26.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Excellent outcrops of.

578
01:29:29.480 --> 01:29:37.280
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Our coast, I think it's portland our coasts along the wiccan park trail in East hartford Manchester area, you can actually see these from it for.

579
01:29:38.480 --> 01:29:41.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): An ice cream before if you're heading.

580
01:29:43.820 --> 01:29:56.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): into the city and the hartford from from the eastern part of the state and that those are an excellent place to also do some exploration of of the sentiments, but without standing on the side of the road.

581
01:29:57.860 --> 01:30:14.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Where you're going to get run over by tractor trailers down in East Berlin i'm sharing my Google map just to kind of show you I know get you know Sean when when people in wheelchairs sit on the side of the road, a lot more people stop wonder what the heck you're doing.

582
01:30:16.160 --> 01:30:23.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I feel like when when when it's just me and my colleagues do it with with their students and they don't have the wheelchair sitting out there, nobody bothers them.

583
01:30:25.100 --> 01:30:28.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Put one of us on the side of the road and everybody wants to know why you're up there.

584
01:30:29.240 --> 01:30:31.130
Sean Thatcher: we're not worth knowing you know.

585
01:30:33.200 --> 01:30:40.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): um so I, I think, Google earth up just because i've shown you quite a few areas, and I just wanted to kind of.

586
01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:44.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): put these into geographic context, a little bit as best I can.

587
01:30:46.520 --> 01:30:57.650
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So hartford is kind of right under in the area where my cursor is is that what can park again is sort of East hartford Manchester it's right along it for three four.

588
01:31:00.320 --> 01:31:11.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): transition and the each of the segments of the East Berlin formation down here, this is the intersection of route nine and route 15.

589
01:31:12.470 --> 01:31:12.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A gene.

590
01:31:13.220 --> 01:31:15.590
Sean Thatcher: will have a Saudi gentlemen sorry we are.

591
01:31:15.650 --> 01:31:16.880
Sean Thatcher: Actually gene on.

592
01:31:17.540 --> 01:31:20.990
Sean Thatcher: Where are those outcomes exactly in Lincoln park.

593
01:31:22.730 --> 01:31:24.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Alright alright alright alright.

594
01:31:25.970 --> 01:31:28.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): um I think if I zoom in.

595
01:31:30.470 --> 01:31:30.890
You.

596
01:31:32.870 --> 01:31:39.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And, to my knowledge, there still there, where we get your hands on so they are on that giga pan site, but that was a few years ago.

597
01:31:40.490 --> 01:31:54.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is the park itself, and there is a paper trail because up here along this exit ramp and you can actually see in this Google earth on the trail going up here right by the.

598
01:31:56.870 --> 01:32:07.790
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): It seems to be read by the highway and these appear to be the outcrops that we gig a pan I don't remember a long where along that section, we did it, but that was right along here going up that hill.

599
01:32:09.830 --> 01:32:10.550
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): To the back.

600
01:32:11.120 --> 01:32:11.660
Jean Crespi: So it's.

601
01:32:12.860 --> 01:32:15.590
Jean Crespi: So you mean you mean the rocks on the exit ramp.

602
01:32:15.620 --> 01:32:18.320
Jean Crespi: Not rocks any roxanne and we can park.

603
01:32:19.520 --> 01:32:29.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): not actually in the eye, we had to park in the park, I believe the trail kind of this this trail is sort of part of it, but it is not inside the park.

604
01:32:30.260 --> 01:32:30.860
Jean Crespi: No, it was.

605
01:32:31.640 --> 01:32:33.800
Jean Crespi: A real trail there it's a real trail.

606
01:32:35.300 --> 01:32:35.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah.

607
01:32:36.050 --> 01:32:36.740
Jean Crespi: Well cool.

608
01:32:37.820 --> 01:32:51.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah it's it's I can't tell you how steep it is so I can't say that that i've been on it um recently enough to remember how steep it is, but it is a trail, and you can take it there, like leader that uses it all the time, as I recall.

609
01:32:52.340 --> 01:32:53.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay sentimentality class.

610
01:32:54.320 --> 01:32:56.270
Peter Drzewiecki: On some time if I.

611
01:32:57.800 --> 01:33:04.250
Peter Drzewiecki: If I had break in I go there every year with students every non covered year and we we get permission if.

612
01:33:04.340 --> 01:33:07.640
Peter Drzewiecki: You call few days ahead and they give mission.

613
01:33:07.700 --> 01:33:17.570
Peter Drzewiecki: We park for free, as we can Park, then you have to walk out turn lesson hits the road out follow the sidewalk to the corner the intersection and then it is a rail trail.

614
01:33:17.990 --> 01:33:31.010
Peter Drzewiecki: So it's very easy to get there, the outcrop itself is a cliff so you it's it's got it's very steep but she can't climb up it, but you can walk along it and and get right up to look at samples and stuff like that.

615
01:33:32.030 --> 01:33:33.320
Peter Drzewiecki: OK great very accessible.

616
01:33:33.710 --> 01:33:41.240
Jean Crespi: Thanks Peter always just going to park and do the overview, looking at the to the West out onto the basin in the trapper bridges.

617
01:33:41.750 --> 01:33:42.140
yeah.

618
01:33:44.210 --> 01:33:44.660
Peter Drzewiecki: walk.

619
01:33:45.320 --> 01:33:46.610
Jean Crespi: Thank you, thank you both.

620
01:33:50.570 --> 01:33:52.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is that site again with our.

621
01:33:52.490 --> 01:33:55.460
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): With our giga pans these are this, this is the kind of.

622
01:33:56.870 --> 01:33:59.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): This is what you'll see in that and there's.

623
01:34:00.290 --> 01:34:17.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Again with these you can see a change in the in the ufology or the character of the sediments as you go up and down the section, and this is where again our sentimentality class measures does a dozen measured strike home on this, as I recall, every year, they go up and do it.

624
01:34:19.220 --> 01:34:19.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So.

625
01:34:23.720 --> 01:34:35.540
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And let me just find out the last bit that i'm going to do is, I want to talk about some glacial deposits, since we clearly are we weren't glaciated in the in the on.

626
01:34:37.400 --> 01:34:39.350
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): On my smart Scott last that's fun.

627
01:34:41.960 --> 01:34:46.250
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We do have a collegial environment and now that i've lost them all.

628
01:34:47.600 --> 01:35:00.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I want to end with aws Stanley Park, which is right right outside campus for CCS you I think that's got a great example of an accessible trail and some different activities that can be done there.

629
01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:03.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then the other one.

630
01:35:05.060 --> 01:35:06.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Is um.

631
01:35:07.490 --> 01:35:15.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): treasure Park, which is right off Highland avenue in Cheshire i'm going to switch my screen here.

632
01:35:20.630 --> 01:35:24.860
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And this is the poem i'm just going to drive around the parking lot here.

633
01:35:26.750 --> 01:35:31.190
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we're looking here there's a rigid material that's kind of.

634
01:35:33.110 --> 01:35:38.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): off to our right, as I start the driver on the lot we're going to loop around and come back to the spot.

635
01:35:41.330 --> 01:35:42.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): As we go through.

636
01:35:46.190 --> 01:35:49.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And as you can see me more right here in a parking lot you're not going to get.

637
01:35:51.050 --> 01:36:06.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm not going to be able to get up on to that original material to really make any interpretations, but there's a wonderful view down the other side of the parking lot that in a non coven year we will get out and we could maybe make some.

638
01:36:08.420 --> 01:36:13.310
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): guesses as to what kind of structure we're looking at.

639
01:36:16.250 --> 01:36:27.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So let me stop here so we're looking at there's a flat field here and i'm not sure how it how visible, this is, but you see the tree line here, this is that range of material.

640
01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:38.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So is there any can we observe a shape to this tree line as we're just driving through this parking lot when we drive up on it again.

641
01:36:50.360 --> 01:36:51.230
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh heck we'll keep going.

642
01:36:52.970 --> 01:36:56.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There are hiking trails on the backside of this feature that that.

643
01:36:57.950 --> 01:37:03.980
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That you can walk up, and I think when I pull around here there's actually a trail that you can see.

644
01:37:09.080 --> 01:37:10.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I have a trail off in here.

645
01:37:13.220 --> 01:37:14.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I must have missed it when I did this video.

646
01:37:16.550 --> 01:37:17.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is.

647
01:37:19.640 --> 01:37:21.380
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If I switched to.

648
01:37:22.430 --> 01:37:30.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The 3D view, this is a little degraded, so that I can put it on sketch FAB or we're looking at the lidar typography.

649
01:37:31.790 --> 01:37:52.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And let me see I just pulled in and kind of drove in there's a parking lot up to here that i've driven around, but you can see that the tree line is tenuous and the topography and so that rich is a strenuous rich of material and it goes back off into the woods in the back here.

650
01:37:56.330 --> 01:38:05.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So can we predict what kind what kind of sediments we should find in that rich in this industry long.

651
01:38:11.480 --> 01:38:13.580
Nick Fedorchuk: scenes and grapples Oscar.

652
01:38:15.200 --> 01:38:28.790
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oscar exactly we should be finding sand and gravel so again we're not going to get we're not going to get a power chair up onto that forced to rich to see that it sounds incredible.

653
01:38:29.870 --> 01:38:39.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But are their interpretations that we can make an observations that we can make from this section of view that don't require us to go clamoring up the hill.

654
01:38:42.320 --> 01:38:43.400
Bill Burton: it's very level.

655
01:38:45.260 --> 01:38:53.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Fantastic I want to go right across the field it's it's great, but we can we really do get a nice view again of that send us.

656
01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:55.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Free line.

657
01:38:55.520 --> 01:38:57.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): What I meant by this was one of the okay.

658
01:38:58.040 --> 01:39:00.770
Bill Burton: I just met the religious very level so it's.

659
01:39:02.270 --> 01:39:02.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): kosher.

660
01:39:10.400 --> 01:39:10.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): well.

661
01:39:11.120 --> 01:39:12.890
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Hello back to the.

662
01:39:13.580 --> 01:39:14.870
Alexander Zdzinski: To the edge of them.

663
01:39:15.080 --> 01:39:15.860
up the.

664
01:39:17.300 --> 01:39:19.010
Alexander Zdzinski: Higher area also has has a.

665
01:39:19.940 --> 01:39:23.300
Alexander Zdzinski: distinct breaking in slope where it.

666
01:39:23.630 --> 01:39:24.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yo it's.

667
01:39:24.710 --> 01:39:31.460
Alexander Zdzinski: it's that Peter it doesn't peter out gradually it's sort of like a distant boundary.

668
01:39:32.780 --> 01:39:34.520
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah it's got a notice to it.

669
01:39:40.610 --> 01:39:46.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): At least in the topography, particularly this little spit over here this one has a very distinct.

670
01:39:47.570 --> 01:39:52.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): nose to the typography and this one does a little bit here too it's actually at the.

671
01:39:54.890 --> 01:40:01.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Point get up to that that's kind of at the end of the parking lot so if we let the video roll forward here.

672
01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:09.140
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): As we pull out the end of the parking lot we're walking out the line of that Oscar and we can kind of see where it and.

673
01:40:17.300 --> 01:40:26.030
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A little bit and again, as I said, there's some hiking trails back in there sure it kind of Peters out on us and kind of noses down.

674
01:40:27.500 --> 01:40:30.620
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): and sends out as it gets to the to the end there.

675
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:38.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There are, there are some houses on the backside of that so there's certainly been some some modification.

676
01:40:41.870 --> 01:40:45.560
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But this is a great example of a place that we could spend, just a quick.

677
01:40:46.850 --> 01:41:02.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): get out of the car look around send your field partner up to see if they can identify kind of sediments are present come on back down and then collaborate on on the structure that you can observe just from that little city park.

678
01:41:05.060 --> 01:41:17.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And the last place that that I want to do just a little bit of a tour is a location called aws Stanley Park, this is in new Britain right near the CSU campus.

679
01:41:19.400 --> 01:41:37.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And we do use portions of this park system for for some of our field trips we're going by CCS you right now at high speed and then i'm off to our left here is Stanley quarter park little bit different it's got.

680
01:41:38.840 --> 01:41:43.820
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): A pond and then the stream from the pond goes underneath central.

681
01:41:44.840 --> 01:41:46.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then, this is lovely suburban.

682
01:41:48.380 --> 01:42:01.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): New Britain just off to the right of us here we're going to go by Stanley golf course the public golf course and then off to our left that's the whole of this aws Stanley.

683
01:42:02.690 --> 01:42:08.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Public park and when we get to target after we go past costco.

684
01:42:09.290 --> 01:42:12.530
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): will make a Left and hanging out in the commuter lot.

685
01:42:14.720 --> 01:42:21.110
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And my whole point of bringing this up is if we're bringing students up from campus we can talk about human impacts and.

686
01:42:21.530 --> 01:42:31.100
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): How development of this area could have affected what we're about to see we're going to look at the local wetlands and some of the hydrology and we're not going to get run over by that.

687
01:42:33.260 --> 01:42:34.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, this.

688
01:42:35.600 --> 01:42:39.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): trail was recently renovated by the city to have.

689
01:42:39.530 --> 01:42:46.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): An accessible entrance so this entrance is completely flat, there are no courage.

690
01:42:48.470 --> 01:42:51.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Part my lap that's where the gopro was.

691
01:42:53.060 --> 01:43:05.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So when we're crossing the road here, make sure you look both ways people use this like a drag strip in the afternoons like this, particularly when they're headed home from work and it's a nice day.

692
01:43:10.790 --> 01:43:20.480
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That sidewalk there that we're about to cross again, this is the the city did a renovation and put in that ramp access to make this more accessible.

693
01:43:22.190 --> 01:43:38.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The trail itself is a one and a half mile paved loop on, and I would say it's probably 95% accessible for someone like me there's a couple portions that are too steep that get a little hairy.

694
01:43:40.790 --> 01:43:53.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then there's a bridge with a metal great that just eats wheels over the pond that's that's further to the south, so we're going to get up here and we are now in.

695
01:43:54.890 --> 01:44:02.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The local wetlands, so this is an excellent opportunity to observe wetland soils typical.

696
01:44:03.380 --> 01:44:13.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): wetland character, we get in our field method students do soil course from further south in the park.

697
01:44:14.060 --> 01:44:22.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then we're looking at we're looking over here kind of off to the left you're looking directly over to where the target and the costco or as we drove up.

698
01:44:23.810 --> 01:44:41.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is again another great opportunity to talk about not only what is the geology what is the what is the history, why is this here, we can also talk about the effects of having that urban development, literally right on top of us here.

699
01:44:43.460 --> 01:44:50.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There is a very nice nature guide for this nature trail that focuses on the biology and the.

700
01:44:53.600 --> 01:45:00.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The different types of trees that are present, so it also serves as a as a great sort of.

701
01:45:01.610 --> 01:45:15.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): of biology geology crossover i'm going to go down here till it gets to snowing and turn around but you'll notice, as we look off beyond that tree line there are some rock outcroppings right at the road.

702
01:45:17.660 --> 01:45:23.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So do we think it's a coincidence that the rock out props and the road are right next to each other.

703
01:45:26.540 --> 01:45:37.010
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Probably not, and so the rock outcroppings in this area, we are there's a sort of an intermingling here of the assaults and the sediments.

704
01:45:37.610 --> 01:45:48.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we would have to send our field partners over to those rock out products to determine whether or not those are basalts right or not those are Horn fellows and we do have.

705
01:45:49.220 --> 01:46:05.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Some alteration of the sediments where they contact the basalt flows and we do find Horn fells on in this area, I can't tell you, because I have not checked those outcrops to for sure, because they're right on top of the road.

706
01:46:07.250 --> 01:46:09.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, let's avoid these people here.

707
01:46:10.310 --> 01:46:17.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We go back to kind of where the road is and then had in the other direction.

708
01:46:19.940 --> 01:46:21.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Am I doing with the camera.

709
01:46:24.890 --> 01:46:37.160
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I want to get over to kind of a hydro geology of this again this is on Nice and flat it's completely accessible, if you wanted to go here we'll jump ahead a little bit.

710
01:46:38.540 --> 01:46:45.530
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): As we had this direction we're going to encounter one of the streams that feeds.

711
01:46:46.910 --> 01:46:55.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): into the lake that's in the south side of the park and then there's a connection from that lake to the golf course to.

712
01:46:56.870 --> 01:46:59.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The stream that eventually runs under CCS you.

713
01:47:01.400 --> 01:47:04.610
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): leave these go all the way out to Piper brook in newington.

714
01:47:06.050 --> 01:47:12.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So this is an opportunity to look at the effects of you know, human effects on the watershed.

715
01:47:13.610 --> 01:47:15.710
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We can look at stream processes.

716
01:47:18.200 --> 01:47:25.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Just lots of different opportunities from this particular location and I really should roll faster.

717
01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:27.680
A little bit faster.

718
01:47:29.150 --> 01:47:38.960
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm going to stop when I get to the stream because right at the point where we get to the stream are going to see the trailer is going to loop up again and it starts to get to the point where it's going to be a little bit too steep.

719
01:47:40.100 --> 01:47:40.550
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): On.

720
01:47:41.690 --> 01:47:45.650
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Which is the drawback of me trying to do this by myself, because coated.

721
01:47:51.110 --> 01:47:51.350
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): No.

722
01:47:59.600 --> 01:48:04.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): When this little ice part right here, right when we pass the Nice.

723
01:48:05.420 --> 01:48:07.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): poppers there is this is our stream.

724
01:48:10.700 --> 01:48:17.510
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So we can see it connects off there to the north that's actually just kind of Peters out and starts out up in there.

725
01:48:18.200 --> 01:48:30.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): there's another stream off in the distance that connects to the local or that goes through the local condo development and then this way we're looking cells into the lake that fills the southern part of the point.

726
01:48:33.170 --> 01:48:34.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And again, that lake.

727
01:48:35.360 --> 01:48:42.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): has an outlet stream and that eventually does connect up with the water, the the stream system because underneath central.

728
01:48:44.390 --> 01:49:01.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Okay, I think i've i've taken up two hours of your afternoon at this point, so I hope we've given you at least some examples of what we can do with with some of the accessible trails locally this I can stop that I forgot about that.

729
01:49:03.050 --> 01:49:11.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): there's actually an overlooked up this little path which is navigable when it's dry and not snowy for.

730
01:49:12.290 --> 01:49:24.950
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i've been up it it's a little tricky to get up with a wheelchair, but it would be not a problem at all for my field partner to pop up there with an iPad and take some video and bring it on back and he could have a discussion of.

731
01:49:26.690 --> 01:49:32.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The watershed in this area, so let me open up the floor if you have any questions comments.

732
01:49:35.720 --> 01:49:41.240
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Or if there's anything else that that that that we can talk about this afternoon.

733
01:50:03.590 --> 01:50:05.300
Ann Hadley: I have a question I noticed that.

734
01:50:08.600 --> 01:50:09.860
Ann Hadley: Sorry go ahead Erica.

735
01:50:10.040 --> 01:50:13.610
Erika Amir-Lin: Oh no it's five that I had a question about the lift kits so if yours is a.

736
01:50:15.830 --> 01:50:18.290
Erika Amir-Lin: Little those available to non academic groups as well.

737
01:50:20.450 --> 01:50:22.190
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I get in touch with Anita and.

738
01:50:22.190 --> 01:50:22.610
She.

739
01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:32.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): and see I don't know the specifics of her grant so I can't I don't want to answer that question positive yes Father no Sean do you know.

740
01:50:32.840 --> 01:50:42.350
Sean Thatcher: I currently don't know as well i'm writing good very maybe depending upon what the nature of the project that you have in mind, but uh neither we know best okay.

741
01:50:42.440 --> 01:50:43.220
Erika Amir-Lin: i'll send her an email.

742
01:50:47.330 --> 01:50:48.860
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): there's another question.

743
01:50:53.870 --> 01:51:03.290
Ann Hadley: I had a question when I was looking at your map, I noticed that you had a pin for small movil fan conglomerates, can you tell us where those are.

744
01:51:04.190 --> 01:51:04.820
Ann Hadley: Sorry yeah.

745
01:51:05.180 --> 01:51:06.110
Ann Hadley: I would love to know.

746
01:51:07.520 --> 01:51:13.550
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And in fact we have some images of those that I kill Google okay.

747
01:51:14.090 --> 01:51:17.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me share my screen does not.

748
01:51:19.430 --> 01:51:39.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): or my Google earth pro is not bringing up my labels very well, so we may not have the labels, but we can at least show you where they are there are now, these are these are loyal fan conglomerates that are coming off of the eastern border fault.

749
01:51:40.820 --> 01:51:53.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): During drifting, so there are something that with that third sort of a record of that event, and again I tie that back from Mars all the time, we have all these a movie fan conglomerates in gale crater.

750
01:51:54.350 --> 01:51:59.660
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): as well, so the ones that are marked on this map are in.

751
01:52:00.860 --> 01:52:02.090
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): She is that this one.

752
01:52:07.310 --> 01:52:08.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Sorry, the fact that my.

753
01:52:10.310 --> 01:52:11.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There we go.

754
01:52:12.290 --> 01:52:17.000
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The fact that my notes are not helping is not helping So these are in Durham.

755
01:52:18.950 --> 01:52:21.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): These there's also in outcrop.

756
01:52:21.320 --> 01:52:21.740
Sean Thatcher: In.

757
01:52:22.070 --> 01:52:23.750
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The Gita farm preserved.

758
01:52:24.500 --> 01:52:28.430
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But I don't have those marks on here, and if I turn on the roads.

759
01:52:30.920 --> 01:52:32.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Which are also wiped out.

760
01:52:36.680 --> 01:52:40.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, i'm not sure how to how to fix these and I.

761
01:52:42.380 --> 01:52:56.150
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): going to miss remember one of these is 17 and the other is 77 I think and the outcrop is located i'm just a bit.

762
01:52:58.460 --> 01:53:02.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): kind of south of where those two come together in a team.

763
01:53:05.960 --> 01:53:12.560
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me see if directions will help me with that now it's going to be fucker work, let me show you what I mean here.

764
01:53:17.060 --> 01:53:27.020
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So these are these kind of livio fan conglomerates, they are absolutely gritty and cogley and all kinds of.

765
01:53:30.800 --> 01:53:36.020
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All kinds of fun stuff that are great to take interest students to because they all know how to ID conglomerate.

766
01:53:38.030 --> 01:53:39.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Right so um.

767
01:53:42.260 --> 01:53:50.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah this is located right along the side of the road and you've got to stop along the side of the road and then kind of hike up into this.

768
01:53:52.250 --> 01:53:53.570
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): into this location.

769
01:53:54.920 --> 01:54:09.620
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There are houses on the Ridge, on the other side but, honestly I don't recall that I remember, we had we used to have a phone number for someone to call and I don't think its current anymore.

770
01:54:10.700 --> 01:54:13.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): But we've never had a trouble stopping with with.

771
01:54:14.810 --> 01:54:17.180
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): With the groups to to see this.

772
01:54:18.800 --> 01:54:21.470
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So that's a good example and.

773
01:54:23.120 --> 01:54:23.840
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): let's see.

774
01:54:25.580 --> 01:54:32.300
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Any other questions on that, let me see if I can find the the actual website to go with that.

775
01:54:37.670 --> 01:54:39.410
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we've got these pans shared.

776
01:54:47.870 --> 01:54:49.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah the Gita farm conglomerate.

777
01:54:51.140 --> 01:54:53.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): is not as as.

778
01:54:58.640 --> 01:55:03.020
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): is not as photogenic this this one up here doesn't have as much.

779
01:55:04.040 --> 01:55:05.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): it's not the the.

780
01:55:07.550 --> 01:55:20.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Not too much of an outcrop so it's a little harder to see, this is a better view of that outcropping Durham, and these are our interest students at the base trying to figure out what kind of rock type is there.

781
01:55:21.200 --> 01:55:23.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Apologies for the zooming there I can't get it, where I want it.

782
01:55:27.680 --> 01:55:30.920
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So hopefully did that answer your question at least.

783
01:55:32.420 --> 01:55:41.240
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I can throw those you know what i'll put that kanji file in the chat if anybody wants to download it, and that should also help you get that location.

784
01:55:42.350 --> 01:55:42.980
Ann Hadley: Thank you.

785
01:55:43.880 --> 01:55:45.590
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Are there any other questions.

786
01:55:45.770 --> 01:55:54.200
Bill Burton: Whenever I was wondering if you, is there a regional or national cataloging going on of accessible.

787
01:55:56.630 --> 01:56:05.900
Bill Burton: expose jelacic geologic you know areas of interest, and the reason I ask is in in the burning world there's a whole project devoted to.

788
01:56:06.500 --> 01:56:21.800
Bill Burton: They call it bird ability and it there cataloguing that you know local scales accessible bird bird walk places, so I was just wondering if anyone has taken upon themselves to the same for geology.

789
01:56:25.610 --> 01:56:27.830
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm not aware of anyone Sean.

790
01:56:29.120 --> 01:56:32.900
Sean Thatcher: So a lot of that is been relatively.

791
01:56:33.980 --> 01:56:35.960
Sean Thatcher: nitze in regards of sharing.

792
01:56:37.130 --> 01:56:38.780
Sean Thatcher: There are the.

793
01:56:41.090 --> 01:56:52.310
Sean Thatcher: national parks do a very good job of cataloguing others not so much as far as virtual and remote experiences go there is.

794
01:56:53.090 --> 01:57:00.620
Sean Thatcher: More going on in regards to na GE T that are saving a lot of those Google earth tours we have that link.

795
01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:12.440
Sean Thatcher: From our mornings workshop, and we can find that for you as well as but because accessible is such a broad spectrum term so for jenna and I, a lot of the two of us focus a lot on.

796
01:57:12.920 --> 01:57:24.410
Sean Thatcher: Accessibility in regards to being wheelchair accessible, but there are more things to consider in regards of accessible than just wheelchair access so that's a lot of sensory.

797
01:57:26.030 --> 01:57:32.480
Sean Thatcher: A lot of sensory issues or disabilities related to noise and sound so sometimes that could be an issue with like road outcrops as well.

798
01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:49.370
Sean Thatcher: A lot of them could be for visual impairments and limitation or those that are hard of hearing where can be a little more challenging so a lot of those resources are very dependent on the specific definition of accessibility that they're using.

799
01:57:52.700 --> 01:57:58.790
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Sorry, I was trying to open that see if I could post that link to the energy T site in the chat.

800
01:58:01.400 --> 01:58:20.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I like I said i'm not honestly aware of a project to to develop accessible geology field guides That is something I would i'd like to see it done I don't know it would have to be a crowdsource it would have to be a group effort to really get that out there.

801
01:58:23.120 --> 01:58:30.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I do recommend, there are some rail trails on guides there are some groups that they collect information about rail trail so that's always a good.

802
01:58:31.580 --> 01:58:42.950
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): source if you're looking for what's paved what's flat, and as a Sean said, the state national parks often have accessibility information directly on the website.

803
01:58:43.340 --> 01:58:51.020
Sean Thatcher: got most of these state and national parks, they all have at least one accessible trail and it's all mark with great signage.

804
01:58:52.130 --> 01:58:59.360
Sean Thatcher: And the roots of them, the length of them, the accessibility features locations bathrooms in most cases.

805
01:59:00.170 --> 01:59:13.970
Sean Thatcher: It works out really well, I have never actually had a bad experience when I have looked at the state and national park systems for their customer trails as long as you're not going right after a natural disaster, you should be okay.

806
01:59:15.260 --> 01:59:24.200
Sean Thatcher: or really bad weather, so the only time that i've had a real problem was actually right after hurricane sandy where would be accessible trail was washed out so.

807
01:59:24.740 --> 01:59:36.620
Sean Thatcher: You know, definitely not the state or local governments hopped on that one, but you know they become little more challenging if they haven't been maintained for a very long time, but there's been a real push by the National Park system to really update and catalog and maintain them.

808
01:59:41.780 --> 01:59:45.020
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Right, so we have any other questions comments.

809
01:59:47.600 --> 01:59:50.000
Greg McHone: Jennifer this is Greg.

810
01:59:51.980 --> 01:59:53.000
Greg McHone: Well, for me.

811
01:59:54.380 --> 01:59:55.640
Greg McHone: conglomerate and.

812
01:59:57.080 --> 01:59:58.580
Greg McHone: Was that part of information.

813
02:00:02.690 --> 02:00:04.910
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): where's the conglomerate, the one in Durham.

814
02:00:05.870 --> 02:00:06.200
yeah.

815
02:00:08.300 --> 02:00:09.800
Greg McHone: You know, when I tried on the screen.

816
02:00:09.800 --> 02:00:11.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Here yeah.

817
02:00:12.920 --> 02:00:14.480
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): It slipped my mind I.

818
02:00:16.100 --> 02:00:19.040
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Peter so honestly I don't think I know Peter.

819
02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:21.320
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): portland it's portland.

820
02:00:23.480 --> 02:00:30.710
Greg McHone: As far as I know, i'm only seeing conglomerates in portland never in the yeah never in the lower formation.

821
02:00:31.850 --> 02:00:32.990
Greg McHone: Is that true to you.

822
02:00:34.940 --> 02:00:41.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I only know of the of the two of them, so the big one out and throw them and then the Gita farms, one is also portland.

823
02:00:45.260 --> 02:00:50.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me I keep saying Gita farms and I haven't explained, where that is I didn't put that in my my.

824
02:00:54.320 --> 02:00:57.080
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): The Gita far conservation area.

825
02:01:01.850 --> 02:01:08.900
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Which is also off 17 it's a little bit further north and I can't see any any.

826
02:01:12.980 --> 02:01:14.060
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): mess that up.

827
02:01:15.530 --> 02:01:22.250
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Let me put a link to that in there as well, my recollection is his uniform is not.

828
02:01:23.960 --> 02:01:32.210
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I don't think that's accessible like wheelchair accessible, but it was just a quick hike across the field so would.

829
02:01:33.530 --> 02:01:35.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If you don't if you're not.

830
02:01:37.640 --> 02:01:46.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): If you're just looking for something that's easy and you don't need the the the true accessibility it's it's it's reachable but it's a smaller outcrop.

831
02:01:48.620 --> 02:01:50.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And it is also posted no trespassing.

832
02:01:56.000 --> 02:01:56.360
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So.

833
02:01:57.350 --> 02:01:57.830
Thank you.

834
02:01:59.210 --> 02:01:59.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Thank you.

835
02:02:02.570 --> 02:02:11.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah we wanted to get closer to that David, I think there was a gentleman with a chainsaw, on the other side and we thought you know, maybe we don't want to ask them for permission just yet.

836
02:02:15.140 --> 02:02:17.750
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Sorry that's that's our stuff so.

837
02:02:18.500 --> 02:02:18.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh hi.

838
02:02:18.860 --> 02:02:23.270
Jean Crespi: Mr question I just looked on the State map state geologic mapping is.

839
02:02:24.170 --> 02:02:25.610
Jean Crespi: It is the poor guy down there.

840
02:02:25.730 --> 02:02:26.900
Jean Crespi: yeah Thank you.

841
02:02:27.680 --> 02:02:35.390
Greg McHone: It has a lot of significance about peconic history because it's only on the partner, not in the.

842
02:02:36.740 --> 02:02:44.240
Greg McHone: Lower formations and it's you know it says a lot about the what's exposed at that time along the edge of the basin.

843
02:02:48.080 --> 02:02:48.950
Greg McHone: You see what I mean.

844
02:02:49.490 --> 02:02:56.030
Greg McHone: it's the fault it's the erosion on the upland by default that's causing a conglomerate.

845
02:02:57.440 --> 02:02:58.910
Greg McHone: That because it has a lot of.

846
02:02:59.930 --> 02:03:09.140
Greg McHone: basement rocks in it, but if there's no conglomerate in the triassic formation, it says something about the topography at that time.

847
02:03:11.810 --> 02:03:12.590
Greg McHone: Should I mean.

848
02:03:16.370 --> 02:03:25.760
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): right by doing good do we have exposure to the traffic sediments along the East, or are they just outcropping along the West, because of the dipping.

849
02:03:26.270 --> 02:03:33.110
Greg McHone: I think down in the southeastern part of the nation, there may be something close to new haven information.

850
02:03:34.520 --> 02:03:35.630
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah okay.

851
02:03:38.000 --> 02:03:45.260
Peter Drzewiecki: Greg this is Peter, and there is conglomerate and essential information between dinosaur state park and.

852
02:03:46.520 --> 02:03:58.580
Peter Drzewiecki: and of the River basically in in some little tiny outcrops and also was found when they put in the veterans home by the State park there they went through Eastern information glamorous.

853
02:03:59.510 --> 02:04:00.530
Greg McHone: In the one.

854
02:04:01.130 --> 02:04:02.780
Peter Drzewiecki: In the East Berlin formation.

855
02:04:02.930 --> 02:04:07.160
Greg McHone: Good he's brilliant, which is between holyoke and Hampton.

856
02:04:07.910 --> 02:04:09.470
Peter Drzewiecki: Yes, yeah.

857
02:04:09.680 --> 02:04:13.310
Greg McHone: that's still Jurassic right yeah I don't know of any triassic.

858
02:04:14.030 --> 02:04:14.840
Peter Drzewiecki: kilometers.

859
02:04:15.590 --> 02:04:17.540
Greg McHone: And would be interesting to know if there were any.

860
02:04:21.050 --> 02:04:24.560
Greg McHone: You see there's a lot of traffic rock beneath the talk of the soul.

861
02:04:28.070 --> 02:04:33.350
Greg McHone: But what was the nature of the border fold at that time that's that's what i'm interested in.

862
02:04:33.860 --> 02:04:40.550
Jean Crespi: yeah I think that's a really important question and I think Jen made a good point to if you don't have the triassic exposed.

863
02:04:41.930 --> 02:04:46.550
Jean Crespi: On the eastern side of the basic does the overall eastward did that's a little more challenging.

864
02:04:47.060 --> 02:05:05.150
Bill Burton: Well, it so it's possible than that the eastern or fall was not the original fault during the triassic and is only became active later and that's why the portland is overlying everything else and it's so local.

865
02:05:08.750 --> 02:05:11.810
Greg McHone: Or the border fault that not exist in the triassic.

866
02:05:15.380 --> 02:05:16.430
Greg McHone: was no waterfall.

867
02:05:17.420 --> 02:05:20.660
Jean Crespi: Exactly yeah I think that's a really interesting question.

868
02:05:24.470 --> 02:05:25.670
Jean Crespi: But tough to answer.

869
02:05:31.310 --> 02:05:36.500
Greg McHone: it's been two years since my brain has been turned on for Connecticut geology.

870
02:05:39.110 --> 02:05:47.180
Bill Burton: Well Greg and I work together in the POP or rock and we address that question there and I said i'd myself, at least at the Popper on.

871
02:05:47.930 --> 02:06:09.530
Bill Burton: Was not merely a faulted outlier of the of the hartford that it because it also has pebbly horizons and looking at the class too so but there may be a combination of both going on as you as the as the as the basis, develop they get more localized.

872
02:06:10.670 --> 02:06:20.930
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): So first points out and chat that that there are a lot of conglomerates in the new haven are kosta trashing haven along routes just in 40 and hemmed in in new haven.

873
02:06:26.030 --> 02:06:28.580
Greg McHone: along the border of the face in or out of the middle.

874
02:06:33.500 --> 02:06:40.220
Jean Crespi: that's going to be near the border well funnels down in Puerto fault comes in, so that'd be pretty near the port of phone.

875
02:06:42.470 --> 02:06:42.710
yeah.

876
02:06:54.200 --> 02:06:56.120
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Alright lots of good discussion of conglomerates.

877
02:06:57.980 --> 02:07:00.470
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): We have any any additional questions.

878
02:07:02.450 --> 02:07:15.050
Erika Amir-Lin: I have another question going all the way back to your 3D printed models have you done any from the lidar of the superficial glacial formations so 3D printed esters gremlins etc.

879
02:07:16.430 --> 02:07:19.730
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I have not i'm just because.

880
02:07:21.650 --> 02:07:41.390
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I have not, and I should um so that would be definitely interesting to do, on the one that i've put up there, this is on guess, but it had to be done, down to be to be low res, to put it on sketch FAB, so I think i'm a little higher as.

881
02:07:42.740 --> 02:07:52.220
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): for working with it to 3D print using the full resolution might do a little bit better so that that can be something I add to my list i'm not teaching glaciers for another couple years so.

882
02:07:56.210 --> 02:08:03.650
Nick Fedorchuk: yeah along those lines do you have any other suggestions for accessible glacial geology outcrops.

883
02:08:06.050 --> 02:08:07.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'd love to find some more.

884
02:08:08.960 --> 02:08:14.450
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I think Jane crush me just left but yukon in one of these big.

885
02:08:17.060 --> 02:08:26.780
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Or has quite a number of facial features that are on campus and I think they're pretty well documented and since it's campus it should be reasonably accessible and.

886
02:08:27.740 --> 02:08:39.560
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): i'm not sure I can come up with any in the in the valley, but I think we have we're sort of overcrowded with the lakes and the and the wetlands, so we would miss out.

887
02:08:42.830 --> 02:08:48.260
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): we're sort of missing some of those drumline asked her features a little bit.

888
02:08:59.630 --> 02:09:00.740
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Other questions.

889
02:09:04.580 --> 02:09:15.050
Katrin Monecke: i'm wondering, you might have mentioned this, but these giga pan pictures, have you done those yourself, or is this, how do you do them and.

890
02:09:17.780 --> 02:09:18.110
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right.

891
02:09:21.740 --> 02:09:24.440
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh, we get a pen dinosaur state park I forgot that.

892
02:09:26.960 --> 02:09:33.770
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That was not intentional it's not so I giga pan is, this is a robotic camera mount.

893
02:09:35.540 --> 02:09:36.020
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That.

894
02:09:37.670 --> 02:09:53.060
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): US is about it's a robot robotic and what it will do is it it either pushes the button on your camera automatically or connects directly to the camera and it takes images in a siri in a grid.

895
02:09:54.170 --> 02:10:07.370
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And then you can upload the photos into the stitching software and upload them to the website to to view so all of the all of the images on this particular site.

896
02:10:08.450 --> 02:10:12.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Which are linkedin that cams the file that I sent you, these are all linked that.

897
02:10:14.120 --> 02:10:26.420
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): These are all taken in that way, with one of these little robots So these are all ours, as it were, we all we took all of them, but if you go to the actual giga pan website, there are a gazillion.

898
02:10:28.430 --> 02:10:32.720
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): There are a gazillion geology tagged images that.

899
02:10:35.210 --> 02:10:40.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): That you could potentially use for sort of a virtual field trip we.

900
02:10:42.350 --> 02:10:50.330
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): One of my colleagues Mike liza which has a series of glacial deposits in Switzerland team uses with his jail mark class.

901
02:10:53.750 --> 02:11:01.310
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah just an opportunity to just get to places that you can normally get you are using these.

902
02:11:04.760 --> 02:11:05.510
Katrin Monecke: Thank you.

903
02:11:09.170 --> 02:11:13.700
Sean Thatcher: john, what are the pixel resolutions on the typical bigger pants that you have.

904
02:11:16.760 --> 02:11:23.180
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I can't say I know that direct spatial resolution they're mostly taken with sort of a point and shoot.

905
02:11:24.290 --> 02:11:41.990
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): camera with three times optical zoom which will really doesn't help you very important to know um you can basically get down to whatever the resolution of your camera is so at some of the sites that I show you, you can get down to.

906
02:11:43.940 --> 02:11:58.460
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): You can get down to kind of pebble i'm almost done the seeing individual sand sizes and some of those our crops and some of them you can't because we're a little further away um it does depend on on your camera and how far away, you were.

907
02:11:59.450 --> 02:12:00.140
Sean Thatcher: Great Thank you.

908
02:12:02.750 --> 02:12:08.270
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): And the total images are ginormous there at least a giga pixel size, for the most part.

909
02:12:15.380 --> 02:12:22.520
Peter Drzewiecki: This is Peter again, I do have one more suggestion of a very accessible location to look at the portland for.

910
02:12:23.420 --> 02:12:33.560
Peter Drzewiecki: That it's actually at the buckland mall and Manchester, there is a road cut right that goes right between the lowe's and home depot, of course, and you know side.

911
02:12:33.920 --> 02:12:47.030
Peter Drzewiecki: And if you pack it park at home depot you can you know get out of the parkland and there's a sidewalk that goes right along the outcropping in place, you can just touch it from the sidewalk and and so it's very accessible that it.

912
02:12:49.850 --> 02:12:52.250
Peter Drzewiecki: it's another one that's very easy to get to.

913
02:12:53.540 --> 02:13:10.970
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah exactly this is um you brought up buckling this was on this outcrop with the big fault through it is behind the target in buckland the show that's right up there by the that's right up from the lows as I recall, such writing where you're talking about.

914
02:13:11.360 --> 02:13:12.500
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah that this.

915
02:13:13.550 --> 02:13:14.180
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): is gone.

916
02:13:14.450 --> 02:13:16.790
Peter Drzewiecki: yeah it's covered now with some men yeah.

917
02:13:18.260 --> 02:13:28.640
Peter Drzewiecki: But yeah but yeah with with Mike with vision we took a lot of detailed moments at that outcrop one you're showing and also the one at on buckland avenue between home depot and lowes.

918
02:13:30.530 --> 02:13:31.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): yeah these are.

919
02:13:33.470 --> 02:13:34.340
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Maybe we can.

920
02:13:35.870 --> 02:13:41.180
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I know I can't see my labels, but maybe you know it's not that hard to find welcome all know.

921
02:13:46.010 --> 02:13:52.490
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): oops that's airport wrong road each think i've been living here long enough, I would know where the heck them all is.

922
02:13:54.440 --> 02:13:55.010
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): having trouble with.

923
02:13:57.110 --> 02:13:57.380
Peter Drzewiecki: It.

924
02:13:57.980 --> 02:14:09.440
Peter Drzewiecki: And I used to be able to tell my students, that this was the only course that went to the mall but that I discovered a psychology course or they actually go in the mall and watch human behavior.

925
02:14:14.510 --> 02:14:15.050
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Oh.

926
02:14:17.390 --> 02:14:34.580
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I you know we up here we've got right before West farms law there's an old borders and there's supposedly a fault in the in the sediments back there and there's also supposedly some farm fails, but with the construction i've not been able to get back there i'm.

927
02:14:35.600 --> 02:14:39.800
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Not construction, but with the stores turning over and replacing.

928
02:14:40.850 --> 02:14:48.680
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): they've been a little bit wary of people hiding behind there so and my geography is shot enough I can't find them all, without labels so.

929
02:14:49.820 --> 02:14:50.600
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): that's terrible.

930
02:14:52.400 --> 02:14:52.880
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): um.

931
02:14:54.620 --> 02:14:55.940
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Any other suggestion.

932
02:15:01.730 --> 02:15:10.850
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): I mean heck you could see the red rocks in Manchester from these hard for like from miles away coming up at four, you can see those red rocks exposed.

933
02:15:22.310 --> 02:15:32.690
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): All right, well, again I know we said we'd be here till five but we don't have any order to drive, so it took a little bit less time than I expected.

934
02:15:33.050 --> 02:15:43.670
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): On Thank you everybody for taking some time out of your afternoon to to talk with us today if anybody has any questions or is looking for some resources.

935
02:15:44.570 --> 02:15:59.540
Jennifer Piatek (she/her): Please send an email we've thrown some links in the chat you can save the chat using the if you go to the chat window there's a button, with three dots and that will let you save that if you're interested in those links Thank you so much, everybody have a good.

936
02:15:59.540 --> 02:15:59.720
night.

937
02:16:02.630 --> 02:16:03.530
Sean Thatcher: Have a great day, everyone.

938
02:16:03.920 --> 02:16:05.000
Katrin Monecke: Thank you.

939
