So if you thought that last drought was bad, this one was insane!
Yes this blog is all but dead, so I'll attempt to revive it a bit!

Right now we've just completed the first string of honours exams and now preparing fro the long haul towards the end!

Along the way we've began our honours projects!

Scott has decided to try and solve the mysteries of the Cape Fold Belt! It's one of the big mysteries of this century and he'll be solving it in a couple of weeks from now! Isn't that cool?!



Here's Scott checking out some sheared granite. This is a highly felsic granite with alteration sericite giving it a green colour. This is really an uphill battle for Scott, but he'll do it, so make sure you get his journal article next year!

In the same time Nils has been roughing it out in ice cold conditions! Why so cold you ask?! Well because he will be finding out whether or not some deformational structures in the top of the Peninsula Formation has been caused by Glacier deposited Pakhuis!

Here's some of these chevron type folds!
So yes Nils will have his work cut out climbing up these precipitous cliffs all for the sake of geology!

Remember that when you're climbing up cliffs without the adequate climbing equipment your last will and testimony must be complete!
