General Information
The Casper College Dept. of Earth and Environmental
Sciences, the Wyoming Geological Association (WGA),
and the University of Wyoming are excited to host the
67th Annual Rocky Mountain Section Meeting in Casper,
Wyoming, USA. We have developed a technical program
covering a broad scope of topics, including the fields of
Cenozoic volcanism; structural geology; paleontology; paleobiology and sedimentology; geomorphology; geophysics and
hydrology; applications in GIS; and mining. Our location at
the base of Casper Mountain along the North Platte River
at the southern margin of the Powder River Basin provides a
world-class energy resource and geologic setting for our conference and associated field trips.
The field trips for this meeting take advantage of being
in the center of the spectacular and diverse geology of
Wyoming. In addition, the Tate Museum, on the Casper
College campus, is home to Dee the Mammoth, the largest Columbian mammoth in the world, Lee Rex, the most
complete Tyrannosaurus rex collected from Wyoming, and
a great variety of other fossils, minerals, and gemstones collected throughout Wyoming’s well-exposed geologically rich
landscapes. The museum offers other great exhibits, gifts and
programs for families as well.
The meeting is hosted by the Department of Earth and
Environmental Sciences at Casper College, but is being held
primarily at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel in order to
facilitate easy access to most conference events. A closing
luncheon and several workshops are scheduled at Casper
College on Saturday, 23 May. A variety of spectacular geological, historical, and scenic areas are located near Casper
that may be visited by foot, car and some of our shorter field
trips. The Platte River Trails walkway is accessible from
Crossroads Park, located about 1 block north of the Best
Western Ramkota Hotel. It follows the river along some fossiliferous outcrops of the Cretaceous Cody Shale to the east.
A map of the walkways in Casper can be found at http://
www.platterivertrails.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/PRPTrail-Map-03.24.14.pdf. The National Historic Trails Center,
located 0.8 miles north of the Best Western Ramkota Hotel,
represents the intersection of five pioneer trails during the
early days of Casper. Historic Fort Caspar is 3 miles by car,
but can also be reached by following the Platte River Trails
walkway to the west. On the way you pass by the site of the
former Amoco Refinery, which is now home to a challenging
golf course, scenic commercial office space, and the Wyoming
Oil & Gas Commission building. The Alcova Lake recreation area and geologic wonderland is located just 30 minutes
southwest along U.S. Highway 220, providing an opportunity
for a quick stop coming or going to the meeting; or join our
Geoscience Teachers field trip on 20 May for a guided tour. A
virtual field trip of the Alcova Lake area is also available from
the Tate Museum website http://www.caspercollege.edu/tate/
virtual_fieldtrips/GeoProject_web/index.html.
Travel Directions
Casper International Airport is the largest airport in
Wyoming and offers direct flights to and from major airline
hubs in Denver and Salt Lake City. Casper is a small city
albeit rather spread out along the various highways and trails
whose intersection created the town. Downtown Casper is at
the intersection of 2nd and Center Street, in the heart of the
community. The Casper College campus is located 14 blocks
south of 2nd Street with its northern edge beginning at 15th
Street. The Best Western Ramkota Hotel and Conference
Center is located northwest of the intersection of Interstate
25 and Poplar Street about 1.5 miles from downtown Casper.

A CAREER OF YELLOWSTONE RESEARCH
AND DISCOVERIES
Abstract:
My earth science career began in 1956, before college,
where I was a field assistant conducting studies of Yellowstone
Lake. In our bathymetric data I noted undulating lake sediment structures that intrigued me first about Yellowstone’s
geologic origin. It was also there that I began traveling
Yellowstone’s wilderness following the trails of Washburn,
Hayden, Jagger, etc. These experiences led me to an academic
career at Utah State University for my geology BS and MS.
During my junior year the deadly 1959 M7.3 Hebgen Lake,
MT earthquake occurred. I traveled there and observed the
6 m high fault scarp, heard astonishing accounts of this huge
earthquake but found relatives safe. Notably this earthquake
turned me toward a geophysics career that was followed
by military service conducting geophysics-geodetic surveys
around the world and serving as the U.S. Exchange Scientist
to the British Antarctic Survey. I completed a geophysics
Ph.D. at the University of Utah in 1967, initiating my formal Yellowstone studies including seismic, GPS, earthquake,
volcano, etc. investigations. In 1973 revisiting Yellowstone
Lake’s South Arm, I observed a buried shoreline and deduced
that the lake had tilted southward in the not distant past.
This observation began my crustal deformation studies that
revealed an astonishing ~1 m of caldera uplift in just 60 years
and the first account of magmatic fluid migration driving
Yellowstone’s deformation. My career was broadened with
visiting appointments at Columbia University, Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology and Cambridge University. My 57
years of Yellowstone research has included very productive
collaboration with NPS, USGS, and university colleagues,
supervision of 70 graduate students 30 of which did theses
on Yellowstone topics, publication of 110 papers alone on
Yellowstone, giving hundreds of Yellowstone presentations
around the world, recipient of numerous awards, and coauthoring a very popular Yellowstone geology book Windows
Into The Earth. Importantly Yellowstone allowed me to bring
quantitative skills into it as a wondrous outdoor laboratory
with still exciting discoveries nearly every year. In conclusion
I sincerely appreciate the support of my colleagues, students,
the public, and my family to understand that Yellowstone is
indeed a living, breathing, shaking volcano.

CLASSIC CONCEPTS and NEW DIRECTIONS:
Exploring 125 Years of GSA Discoveries in the Rocky Mountain Region
Edited by Lon D. Abbott and Gregory S. Hancock
The Rocky Mountain Region has been the subject of continuous, exhaustive
scientific work since the first organized geologic trips to the area began in the
1860s. Despite almost 150 years of scrutiny, the region’s magnificent geology
continues to challenge, perplex, and astound modern geoscientists. It is a
testing ground for geologists and for big geologic ideas. This volume, prepared for the 2013 GSA Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, serves both as
a progress report on what we have learned over those years of study and
a guide to forthcoming scientific questions about the region. The guide’s
fourteen chapters, which span the region’s 1.7-billion-year history, give a
retrospective glimpse of early geologic ideas being forged, bring the latest mapping and analytical results from classic locations, and introduce
techniques that will form the bedrock of our geologic understanding in
the years to come.

Neogene Deformation between Central Utah and the Mojave Desert
Edited by R. Ernest Anderson, 2013
This book is a must-read for researchers interested in extensional tectonics in
general and the Neogene tectonics of the Basin and Range in particular, because it challenges, on the basis of more than 50 years of field studies, the
existing paradigm of province-wide uniformly large extension and replaces it
with a model integrating extension with extension-normal shortening—both
as primary strains. The first chapter takes the reader on two journeys southwestward from central Utah through the Lake Mead area: the first to emphasize the lack of uniformly distributed or integrated extension and the second
to highlight left-lateral shear at 13 localities along the east margin of the
Basin and Range that is kinematically compatible with right-lateral shear
along the west margin. The compatibility provides a basis for understanding the extreme Neogene tectonics of the Lake Mead area. The second
chapter summarizes multifaceted field evidence from the well-studied
eastern Lake Mead area as a focused example of the need for a complete revision of the extensional paradigm.

The 2015 GSA Annual Meeting will take place in vibrant Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Commonly
known as Charm City, this ever-evolving, walkable city is steeped in history. In 1814, Baltimore’s
bombardment by the British inspired Francis Scott Key to write the lyrics for “The Star-Spangled
Banner.” Visit the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine to learn more about the War
of 1812, explore Baltimore’s world-famous Inner Harbor, and enjoy the flavor of the city’s quirky and
distinct neighborhoods. Baltimore’s location and geology will make for some unique field trips.
We hope you will join us 1–4 November to explore this area’s geologic offerings and to forge connections
with other geoscientists.
Abstract deadline: 11 August
