On Saturday, August 2, beginning at 8:00 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.
