Attend El Cerrito Trail Trekkers’ Annual Meeting and a talk by Gary Prost on El Cerrito's geology.
Prost, whose 42 years as a geologist have taken him from the oil fields of Alberta and the Beaufort Sea to Mexico and Trinidad, will discuss geological formations much closer to home. Gary has been involved with Trail Trekkers for close to a decade, leading many tours in and around the Hillside Natural Area, often with other members of the Northern California Geological Society. Gary also wrote the interpretive signs about geology that were installed in the Hillside Natural Area. He is the author of several books aimed at professional geologists and lay people, including the recent “Rocks and Riches, Exploring California's Stunning Geology,” which will be available at the event. |

It infuses our art and identities as Bay Area residents. Learn how scientists map this shape-shifting moisture as they work to predict climate change impacts on our beloved, elusive fog. Speaker Alicia Torregrosa, a scientist for many years with the U.S. Geological Survey, initiated the USGS Pacific Coastal Fog Project, which resulted in an international and interdisciplinary expansion of coastal fog research. This is Trekkers’ Annual meeting. Before the talk we will briefly discuss our goals, activities, and finances, invite comments and questions, and vote for officers. Free. Light refreshments. |
