However, there is much more to Tucson than just its natural beauty. The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is offering a class and field study tour to educate participants about the history and causes that have given Tucson its unique look. Desert Museum Geologist Bob Scarborough will guide participants through a slide show geared to show the current state of knowledge in the field of Earth Sciences, local landforms, the techniques used to probe the earth and the geologic history of the Tucson region. Also included is a one-day guided trip around the Tucson valley on April 7.
Online registration is available.
