Where's Western - Planetary Science Field School

Dr. Gordon Osinski, Associate Professor & NSERC/MDA/CSA Industrial Research Chair in Planetary Geology and Associate Director, Centre for Planetary Science and Exploration takes Western University and other Canadian university students on a 10-day residential field experience examining various localities in northern Arizona (AZ) and southern Utah (UT). The most recent field school took place in May 2014. This region of the Midwestern United States is a world-renowned environment for comparative planetology; the Apollo astronauts were trained there in the 1960's and 1970's. Field stops focused on meteorite impact cratering (e.g., Meteor Crater, AZ; Upheaval Dome crater, UT), volcanism (e.g., Sunset Crater volcanic field, AZ), and canyon and valley formation (e.g., Canyonlands National Park, UT). Many of the locations visited are considered world-class terrestrial analogues for the Moon and Mars, such as Meteor Crater: the best-preserved meteorite impact crater on Earth. http://cpsx.uwo.ca/about-cpsx Posted by Communications and Public Affairs
