2000 SCEC Intern Field Trip (Page 4)

Comments from the Interns on the Colloquium and field trip:

Allison Jacobs
Overall, I thought the weekend was enjoyable, interesting, and educational. The colloquiuim was a good opportunity for me to test my current knowledge of my project and practice explaining it to others. Besides visiting a few too many trenches with Rockwell and friends, I found the exposure to the world of paleoseismic studies to be a good, new experience. Possibly, traveling with the experts gave us a true taste of the scientific and researching climate. My favorite part of the weekend was learning about the precariously perched rocks, (and to complement
Marie's comment, learning to add a beautiful white towel to my bag, and then turn it brown after a day in the desert.) I also thought that Doug was a great person to have along on the trip. He answered questions well
and was very friendly with all of us. Thanks for putting together the weekend. I had fun learning about earthquake-related studies, as well as getting to know my fellow interns.

Chris Madden and Ashley Streig explain their site to the group. The temperature was cooler than expected, at only 112 degrees (We expected 125 degrees!)
