At our Annual meeting, geology professor Will Amidon discussed how the landscapes of west-central Vermont evolved over geologic time. The talk drew on examples from popular outdoor destinations illustrated with geologic maps and high-resolution LiDAR-based topography. Amidon is a geologist who grew up in Charlotte Vermont, and now teaches at Middlebury.
Lying north of the Arctic Circle in Alaska, Gates of the Arctic is situated in the central Brooks Range—the northernmost extension of the Rocky Mountains. It is the second-largest and least-visited national park in the United States; containing over 7 million acres of untouched wilderness with no roads or trails. Highlights of the trip included rafting the Alatna and Noatak Rivers and backpacking over the Continental Divide. All are welcome at GMC Bread Loaf Section events.
