More Canadian Rockies student projects
Posted by Callan Bentley
In addition to the projects I linked to last week, here are a few more:
- Jessica H. made a Prezi about the Kananaskis Trail outcrops, with a bonus trip up to Peyto Lake.
- Sean D. made a PowerPoint tour of the sedimentary features we saw in the Great Plains.
- James focused on the Cougar Creek drainage’s damage during the 2013 floods and subsequent remediation.
- Finally, Josh D. explored the geological story implied in some tilted Mesozoic strata we saw along Kananaskis Trail in this YouTube video.

Excellent video.
I am sure that is how it happened, but am surprised that it appears so dramatic in the time-lapse version.
I’ll just blame Hollywood.
