A tour of the San Andreas

August 3, 2008

On Sunday, the San Bernardino Sun ran an article about a UCR instructor, Gary Arce, who will be leading a tour of a portion of the San Andreas fault. Since last Tuesday's shaker, interest has been aroused in the many faults that underlie California, particularly Southern California.

This tour is a UCR Extension class field study. It will visit the San Andreas from San Bernardino to Bakersfield. The class will gather at 8.am and the tour will last until 6.p.m. Students will see the geologic features created by seismic activity. There is no prerequisite for the class and Arce said that typically all ages participate.

The fee for the class is $179 or #155 each for couples or family members or $140 each with the Partners in Nature Education discount.

For more infromation call (951) 827-5804.
