🧭 Field Camp Recap Day 4: . I investigated whether a major branch of the N. Anatolian Fault was going through a nearby valley. Based on the contact b/w the green (serpentinite) and brown (phyllite) above/below the valley, I determined there was a right-lateral strike-slip fault.

🧭 Field Camp Recap Day 3: . This is a photo of a hellish valley before we started mapping it. My partner and I spent at least two hours in this valley alone despite the fact that it only took up maybe 2 cm of our map. #RiceEEPS #DevlinSchnableScholarship #FieldCamp #Türkiye

While the heat here wasn’t fun, the arid environment meant that rock contacts were super well-exposed. The hill in the midground of the pic has contacts between the 3 main units, and there are also 2 faults visible in the foreground of the image. -Ainsley Ganti, Baker College

Alt: Pic of Ainsley Ganti, selfie style, in the field with quote "“I participated in a 5-week field camp in Türkiye! This program allowed me to use the knowledge I’ve learned in my EEPS classes to try to understand one of the most tectonically complex places on Earth.”".
