GeoHistory Inc. now facilitates its first two day field course, highlighting the creation of the Rocky Mountains, Global Warming and the beginning of life on the planet. As our first multi-day course, the Moutain Bulding, Global Warming and the Beginning of Life Course rolls several GeoHistory Courses and GeoHistory Tours into one amazing two day Field Course.

The course starts in Calgary on Day 1 and proceeds to Banff. Along the way, participants learn how the Rocky Mountains and Alberta foothills were formed and moulded aided by several short stops before and within the foothills and front ranges. Participants are versed in the natural history of the area including structural geology, glacial geology and stratigraphy of the Alberta foothills, front ranges and main ranges of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. This section of the trip finishes with a ride up the Sulphur Mountain Gondola and lunch. After lunch, the group continues to the Columbia Icefields for a tour of the Athabasca Glacier and a discussion on Global Warming. Day 1 finishes with an introduction to the Burgess Shale, gourmet dinner and a night at the Emerald Lake Lodge.
