July 24-25
The Thermal Biology Institute continues to provide opportunities for teachers
to learn more about Yellowstone and the wide variety of geological processes
that make it one of the most active and interesting examples of modern day
vulcanology. TBI sponsored its annual two day field trip for 10 teachers with
Dr. Todd Feeley, MSU vulcanologist. The teachers were treated to an up-close
look at the active volcanism occurring in the park as well as being introduced
to the multitude of evidence for past volcanic activity on the two day tour.
 
MSU vulcanologist Dr. Todd Feeley was the trip leader for
a TBI sponsored teacher workshop. The field-centered Yellowstone Geology
workshop was a the highlight of the summer for TBI staff and participants!; Hot
