Geowalk along the coast near Lancaster, England. All stops were in Carboniferous limestone. Structures in the rock are from a mountain building period called the Hercynian.

Photo 1: On the left is horizontal limestone strata with a small fault separating a small syncline.

Photos 2,3&4: First two are crinoid fossils; I didn’t have my grain size card for scale, but they were about the size of a coin. Also a picture that might be a large gastropod or a coral, I’m not fantastic at fossils. It’s about fist sized.

Photos 5&6: Left photo shows a normal fault with about half a meter of offset, and is the northern limb of a syncline. Also giant slickenlines on the flat surface near the top of the foot wall. Right photo is hard to see the bedding, but is the southern limb of the syncline. I couldn’t walk further out to get a better picture because of quicksand.

"Ogbor Hospital", as it is popularly called, has improved over the years. It's #ongooglemaps with videos & 360 images. . I was born here! 😊 I couldn't take photos inside nor go check the ward where I was delivered because the Manager was unavailable. . #localguides #localguidesconnect #letsguide #360photos #hospital #accessibility #oneaccessibility #geowalk #photowalk #mbaise #Nigeria #ImoLocalGuides https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKE7spB_fu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hub52c3egq4s

Ash

This lovely white colored rock is found exposed in the sea cliff at Pismo Beach in Central California. The rock is a “tuff”, the end result of volcanic explosions. When volcanoes erupt, they can shoot ash into the air and send it flowing along the ground as pyroclastic flows and surges. These ash grains are often still hot when they land and the heat in them is enough to cause the grains to stick together, forming a new rock called a tuff. This rock was literally exploded into debris and now it is stable enough to build stairs on. This rock is Miocene in age, dating back to an interesting time in California. Prior to the Miocene, a large oceanic plate called the Farallon plate was subducting beneath California, leading to the volcanic arcs that produced the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the faulting that produced the Rocky Mountains. About 25 million years ago, during the Miocene, the North American plate crossed over the Farallon plate completely and ran into the mid-ocean ridge between the Farallon and Pacific plates. The motion at the plate margin shifted – instead of subduction of the Farallon plate, any place where the Pacific and North American plates touched they formed a transform boundary. Over time, this boundary shifted positions until about 6 million years ago it integrated as the fault we know today as the San Andreas.

The end of subduction was also associated with a volcanic flareup. Changing the nature of a plate boundary and breaking new faults through the crust often opens gaps in the crust where volcanism can begin. Also, when subduction stops it opens up a “gap” in the subducting plate that has to be filled by the mantle, since the mantle won’t leave open gaps. When the mantle flows upwards to fill a slab gap, it also can begin melting. Volcanism from this era is found throughout California, and in fact it has been subsequently moved around by the development of the San Andreas system.

Yuk, Intip Keseruan Geowalk Oleh Local Guide Se-Nusantara di Kota Batu

MALANGTODAY.NET - Sebanyak 150 anggota Indonesian Local Guides menjadikan Kota Batu sebagai meeting point perdana dalam rangka Meet Up Local Guide Nusantara 2017. Meet Up Nusantara berisi kegiatan seputar dunia guide (pemandu wisata), salah satunya melalui Geowalk. Seputar giat pendataan site location di sejumlah kawasan strategis Kota Wisata Batu. Geowalk dilakukan dengan cara tracking atau berjalan kaki sekaligus mendokumentasikan site locationdimulai dari Gunung Banyak Paralayang Kota Batu hingga Balaikota Among Tani, Sabtu (5/8) pagi. Koordinator Batu Local Guide, Bambang Aprianto menjelaskan, kegiatan ini ditujukan untuk mempromosikan situs-situs kepariwisataan Kota Batu kepada khalayak luas. "Dengan memanfaatkan jaringan aplikasi Google-Maps," terangnya kepada MalangTODAY, Sabtu (5/8). Selain itu, pria yang akrab dipanggil Brian ini menjelaskan, dengan pembaharuan data informasi oleh para relawan local guide sangat penting terkait soal ketahanan informasi. Menurutnya, ada banyak data informasi yang jauh dari akurat, utamanya dalam hal informasi seputar tempat berakibat menyesatkan bagi pengguna jasa Google Maps lain. "Sebab itu, diharapkan dari gelaran ini setidaknya bisa ikut berkontribusi mendukung penyebaran informasi-informasi bermanfaat," cetusnya. Brian menambahkan, target kedepan dari Meet Up Nusantara ini bisa menumbuhkan komunitas local guide serupa di daerah lain yang belum bergerak. "Dengan begitu jalinan komunikasi bisa menyeluruh di segala penjuru dan semakin intensif. Seru," tandas penghobi fotografi dan pecinta fauna ini. Meet Up Nusantara dihadiri anggota local guides dari berbagai penjuru nusantara, mulai dari Medan, Batu, Jakarta, Bekasi, Bandung, Semarang, Jogja, Surabaya, Salatiga dan masih banyak lagi.

SPORTOURISM-Perhelatan Festival Geopark Belitung resmi digelar, 22-26 November 2017. Festival yang berlangsung selama lima hari itu digelar di dua lokasi. Pertama Tanjung Pandan di Belitung, satunya lagi Manggar di Belitung Timur.

Agenda yang digelar? Cukup bervariasi. Mulai dari pameran, geotrip, geocoffe, geobike, geowalk, geoband, hingga geoculture, semuanya ada. Itu belum termasuk Seminar Nasional yang akan ditampilkan sebagai penyempurna festival ini.

Kementerian Pariwisata juga langsung action. Evennya ikut dikawal lewat Seminar Nasional yang dilangsungkan, 23-24 November 2017 di Hotel Santika Tanjung Pandan, Belitung.

"Ini usaha untuk mendorong salah satu destinasi prioritas Kemenpar ini menjadi Geopark Nasional dan Global. Ini sekaligus mengenalkan ke masyarakat luar tentang Geopark Pulau Belitung," ujar Deputi Bidang Pengembangan Pemasaran Pariwisata Nusantara Kemenpar Esthy Reko Astuti didampingi Kepala Bidang Wisata Perjalanan Insentif Hendri Karnoza, Jumat (24/11).

Bagi Esthy, masyarakat harus memahami bahwa Geopark adalah sebuah kawasan yang memiliki unsur unsur geologi. Di sini masyarakat setempat diajak berperan serta untuk melindungi dan meningkatkan fungsi warisan alam, termasuk nilai arkeologi, ekologi dan budaya yang ada di dalamnya.

"Warisan dunia ini, jika rusak tak bisa diperbaiki. Keindahan alam yang paling mahal nilai seninya adalah yang alami dan original. Ini yang harus dipahami masyarakat," ujarnya.

Pemahaman soal itu ditularkan ke 100 peserta. Komunitas, pelaku industri pariwisata, Pemda dan pengurus geopark dari seluruh Indonesia dan Asia Pasifik, ikut disentuh. Semua ikut dimotivasi mengembangkan Geopark Belitung.

“Seminarnya dibagi dalam dua diskusi panel. Sesi pertama diisi pemaparan singkat oleh perwakilan Badan Pengelola Geopark Pulau Belitong, Dyah Erowati. Materinya berisi Setahun Perjalanan menuju Geopark Nasional dan UNESCO Geopark Global," ujar Hendri Karnoza.

Setelahnya diisi pemaparan dari Advisory Committee Unesco Global Geopark, Hanang Samodra (APGN AC, Indonesia). Materi yang disampaikan tentang ”Profile Geologi Tanjung Kelayang.”

Dilanjutkan Arya Mahendra Sinulingga (Direktur Pemberitaan MNC Group) dengan Materi Dukungan Media Nasional untuk Promosi Geopark Indonesia. Safri Burhanuddin, Deputi IV Bidang Kordinasi ESDM dan Budaya Maritim dengan materi Pengembangan Geopark di Masa Mendatang.

Sesi kedua diisi oleh sharing pengalaman oleh beberapa perwakilan geopark Indonesia. “Suhono, Pakar Smart City ITB dan Ketua APIC akan bicara tentang Pengembangan Aikasi Smart Tourism dan Culture untuk mendukung pengelolaan Geopark," ujar Hendri.

Kemudian ada Dwi Pratiwi, Belitung Geopark Residece Geogist yang akan membawakan materi Kajian Potensi Bencana Alam dan Mitigasinya Sustainable Tourism. Bagi Menpar Arief Yahya, keberhasilan Pulau Belitung menjadi kawasan Geopark Global akan terwujud bila ada sinergitas Pentahelix.

"Semuanya harus bisa bekerjasama tanpa ada batasan karena penilaian Geopark yang dilakukan UNESCO ini menyebar merata di semua Pulau Belitung. Semoga seminar ini bisa menyatukan semuanya, sehingga upaya kita untuk mewujudkan Belitung masuk dalam zonasi Geopark Global dapat segera terwujud," kata Menpar Arief Yahya. (*)

Fern Canyon is a lush and damp canyon in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County, California that Nick and I could only keep describing in awe to each other as a scene from Jurassic Park--- I guess we know our movies, because according to the park’s website, Spielberg chose this area for Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World. (We saw Jurassic World a few days later --pretty cheesy, but fun).

When I did my initial research, the park described the trails running through the canyon as some of the best in the park to get an all-around feel of the vast landscapes the whole park has to offer, from moist and mossy vegetation to mature forests and prairie lands. 

Since we only did about a mile or so I’ll keep wondering if the really big trees were out there...  I ask a few other clueless trail-mates we met along the way where the really big ones were and was met with various responses that made me realize the premise of a really big tree was relative. The trees we were walking through were certainly the largest trees I’ve ever seen, but where were the one you see in travel magazines that you could build a house out of, drive a car through (and was the inspiration to the random Redwood tree model at my hometown rustbelt mall in Joliet, IL, that spawned my interest in these things when I was very young?) One backpacker said the trees were still skinny because the saltwater stunted their growth and I thought, “ah! I should have known that.”  Another group spit out “It’s exit 271. Or 272...you’ll see a sign. You have to pay to drive through it. Yeah, it’s pretty big”- kind of thing. But satisfied with the colossal-ness of what I had seen, we turned back to start on our southern migration towards San Francisco. 

One thing I’ve learned about the science of the park since going is that the giant sequoias and the redwoods are actually different trees. The tall but slender trees that we were hiking through were mostly the latter--the sequoias have the wide trunks, but apparently are not as tall. Here’s a guide to spotting the differences.  http://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/cook/sec2.htm
