Introduction - Today we will take a field trip to the Valles Caldera, the world's type example of a resurgent caldera. Famous in the world of volcanology, the Valles Caldera is appropriately in the national park system and shares a border with Bandelier National Monument. Our field trip today will explore the rocks and landforms that tell the story of the caldera eruption - and some of the volcanic history of the Jemez Mountains. We will also take several Google Earth flyovers to provide a bird's eye perspective on the geology inside and outside the caldera. Join Kirt Kempter (geologist) and Javier Sernas (videographer,photographer) on this geologic field trip to the Valles Caldera.
