6:30 pm
  • Audience: 3rd - 6th Grade, Teens, Adults, Families
  • Topic: Geology
  • Format: In-person

Take a geological walking tour of Stanford’s campus!

Meet geologists at Stanford and learn about some of the tools they use when they go “out to the field” to investigate rocks. Then we’ll head out on our walk, where we’ll spend time exploring the rocks that make up several of the buildings and sculptures on Stanford’s campus. We’ll learn about where the rocks came from and how they got to Stanford. We’ll also practice making geological observations and use them to think about how the rocks formed.

All ages are welcome to participate!

Stanford University – Geological Sciences

The geoscientists and students in Stanford’s Geological Sciences department study the properties of Earth materials, like minerals, rocks, soils, sediments and water, to learn about the history and future of the Earth and other planets. Their work also helps us understand risks from natural hazards, availability of natural resources, and interactions between humans and the Earth.
