My Field Work

I am a scientist...don't be scared, I am not going to bore anyone with words like flocculation or geochemistry or eolian or dune foresets or discriminant analysis, or X-ray Fluorescence...

Instead, I am going to show you all the cool places I get to work!  Then you'll know why I suffered through physics, calculus, and chemistry.

My field area is all of southern Utah.

This is Capitol Reef National Park:



This is Pasture Canyon, a slot canyon.



This is just outside the Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument



This is near Escalante, Utah



This is the San Rafael Swell







I like rocks because they are cool, but I like them more because they take me to places most people don't even know exist!
