************************************************************** From: Olivier Galland <olivier.galland@xxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, I am a geologist from Oslo at the Norwegian centre of excellence "Physics of Geological Processes", and my team-mate is also geologist. We are currently running a popular geoscience project called the Andean Geotrail, based on a bike trip along the Andean Cordillera. During the trip, we have selected about 30 geological localities that illustrate various aspects of geosciences and their implications for the society: oil and gas fields, mines, glaciers, volcanoes, agricultural provinces, etc ... During the trip, 45 classes in different schools will follow us via our blog, in which we will give some information about the visited localities, and their teachers will use it to illustrate dynamically their geology lectures. Our project has been labelled by the International Year of the Planet Earth. If you want more information, feel free to consult our website www.georouteandine.fr/English . You can also find the link of the blog on our website. We are at the beginning of the journey, at Punta Arenas, and we have already visited an oil plant in Tierra del Fuego. Although we have already many contacts in the Southern Andes, we only have a few in the Central Andes, so that the access to some localities will be hard. In addition, we probably missed some very interesting geological localities. Thus, I solicit your support in two different ways: - If you know very interesting places along our itinerary that really deserve to be visited, we would be very grateful if you can send us some comments about them. - If you know someone working in restricted areas such as mines and oil fields, and who could help us accessing some very interesting mines for educational purposes, feel free to help us to contact them. In general, if you have any interesting geological information you want to share with us, we would sincerely appreciate your great help by sending us an email to the following address: georoutes@xxxxxxxx We are looking forward to your support.
