Geology of Kachemak Bay by Kayak

On Saturday, August 23, beginning at 9:00 am, Ph.D. Geologist (and KPC faculty) Taz Tally will lead a community class field trip by Kayak along Kachemak Bay to reveal its unique geological history, including active faults, pillow lavas, glaciation, mountain building, and evidence that the rocks of Homer were once near the equator! We may also be visited by otters and seals, who are very much at home along the shoreline. Round-trip water taxi and kayak rental included. For information about fees and further details, please visit our Community Education Portal or call (907) 235-1674.

Rock Cycle Lecture

Have you ever wondered how the mountains surrounding Homer were formed, or what secrets may lie in the stones and rocks that cover our beaches and trails? On Friday, September 5, at 5:30 PM, join Taz Tally, aka "The Rock Doc," to find out! This course offers a brief exploration of the rock cycle at the Kachemak Bay Campus. If you are interested in this lecture, which will also be available via Zoom, you can register here. ALTERNATIVELY, if you are interested in the lecture AND the field trip the following day, you can register for both together by selecting An Adventure for Rockhounds on our Community Education Portal, or by calling (907) 235-1674.
