U-M 2004 Spain Geology Field Trip

Near Cap de Creus.

While awaiting the start of this year's field trip to northeastern Spain, I thought I would share some photos from our last departmental trip to Spain. In 2004 our former colleague, Josep Pares, lead us on an exploration of northwestern Spain, with the help of Ben van der Pluijm and former department member, Todd Ehlers. On that trip we focused on structural geology and visited a number of geologic (and a few culturally!) significant locations around Barcelona, Cap de Creus, Riglos, Pico del Aguila, Jaca, Anisa, Ordesa, and along the track of the ECORS section across the southern Pyrenees and Erbo Basin.
