Please join us for an Open House in the Mineral Museum! This event will showcase a special collection of Montana Moss Agates, on loan from Tom Harmon, featured on our 2023 calendar and a presentation featuring our own Gary Icopini.

For summer 2022, the U.S. Forest Service - Umpqua National Forest seeks two GeoCorps participants to continue its ongoing Geomorphic Roads Analysis and Inventory project. The participants will use the Geomorphic Roads Analysis and Inventory Package (GRAIP) to quantify road surface sediment production and delivery, assess mass wasting and gully risk, and stream crossing failure potential. This will allow the team to pin-point where sediment is entering the North Umpqua River and its tributaries and where the places with the highest risks for gullies, landslides and stream crossing failures are.

Apply now to spend next summer as a Cave and Karst Interpretation and Survey Assistant at the U.S. Forest Service - White River National Forest in Colorado, through GeoCorps America. Participants will be intricately involved with the Cave and Karst Program on the White River National Forest. This involves providing interpretation and public contacts at two of the busier caves on the Forest - Fulford Cave in Eagle, CO and Spring Cave in Meeker, CO. In addition, participants will also visit some of the lesser used caves that are more remote and frequented primarily by the recreational caving community. Learn more and apply online at www.geosociety.org/geocorps.

The UROCKS (Undergraduate Research Opportunities in Cave and Karst Science) program is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in independent mentored research projects. These projects will involve one or more aspects of Cave and Karst Science, along with professional development workshops, karst science seminars, and social events. The program is currently funded for three summers (2022-2024), and will host ten students each summer.
