Abstract

The Association's first field meeting to the United States took place during September 1981 and was repeated (with some changes in the itinerary) in July/August 1982. This report gives details of the itineraries which were followed and which covered over 3,000 miles in the geologically-varied states of California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and Nevada. Localities visited included Oak Creek Canyon, Meteor Crater, the Painted Desert, Petrified Forest, Sunset Crater, Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, San Juan Mountains, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon, Death Valley, Mono Craters, Yosemite and Point Reyes. A general geological introduction to the area prefaces the field meeting reports, and is followed by detailed itineraries which it is hoped could be used by individual members of the Association in the future. The itineraries provide route details, information on the geology to be seen while travelling and specific details of geological and geomorphological features to be seen at the various stops. Suggestions on accommodation are given in the itineraries.
