Students, faculty and alumni of the Earth sciences department recently traveled to Alberta and British Columbia to study glaciers and fossils of the Canadian Rockies. Titled "Trilobites on Ice," the six-day field trip included visits to the Athabasca Glacier, a toe of the largest ice field in the Rockies; the Plain of Six Glaciers Trail, home to various Cambrian strata and trace fossils; and the Cambrian Burgess Shale quarries, containing some of the best examples of Cambrian animal fossils. Participants included Michael Thonis '72, vice chair of the Syracuse University Board of Trustees, a member of the A&S Dean's Advisory Board and a longtime supporter of the Earth sciences department.
