CALENDAR IS SOLD OUT!
The 2011 Calendar of Utah Geology is now available for purchase in the Natural Resources Map & Bookstore!
Featuring everything from slot canyons to snowy glaciers, the calendar has more than 50 photos depicting Utah’s fantastic scenery and geologic wonders.
“The photos are taken by staff members who are often on assignment in some of the most intriguing areas of the state,” says Rick Allis, UGS Director.
This year, 318 photos were juried for inclusion in the calendar. This was the first time Martha Hayden, a paleontologist, had submitted photos for consideration, and her shot of pictographs in Salt Creek Canyon in Canyonlands National Park won a coveted spot. “I’m happy the photo was selected because it’s one of the truly great places in Utah.”
The pictures are accompanied by geologic descriptions and location information. “I hope that these pictures will encourage people to get outside and off the beaten path,” says Tyler Knudsen, a geologist with several picture credits. “We are so lucky to live in a state with so much geologic diversity.”
UGS attempted to capture the diversity in the calendar with topics including igneous mountains, bridges and arches, the Green River Formation, and geologic hazards.
The calendars are on sale in the Bookstore for $4.95 or $4.25 for orders of 10 or more.
