Geology at Every Scale: Field Excursions for 2018 SE GSA

Full title: Geology at Every Scale: Field Excursions for the 2018 GSA Southeastern Section Meeting in Knoxville, Tennessee

Editors: Annette Summers Engel and Robert D. Hatcher Jr.

This guidebook contains nine field trips that highlight the spectacular sedimentary and structural geology within, and surrounding, Knoxville, Tennessee. One guide focuses on the East Tennessee marble industry from the vantage point of the Three Rivers Rambler excursion train in Knoxville, and another guide features limestone-centric lessons for STEM educators. Three guides explore the region's karst landscape and geological curiosities in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Tuckaleechee Cove, the Flynn Creek impact structure, and the Gray Fossil Site, for which that guide also provides training in nutrient hotspots at the Body Farm-the University of Tennessee Anthropological Research Facility. The last four guides examine regional structural geology and tectonics, including of the eastern Tennessee seismic zone, the Nashville dome in central Tennessee, and the Blue Ridge and Inner Piedmont belts of the Carolinas and Georgia.
