This summer we had a departmental float through the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed discussions covering Ga of Earth history up to the modern & river management. Students earned course credit for this lifetime experience. We hope that you all can join us in future years!

This isn't in Yellowstone. It's near Meeteetse, south of Cody. It's a slow-moving landslide that has been active for decades and not related to volcanic or earthquake activity.
