Fluvial Processes in the Willamette Valley

June 25, 2022/ Carol Hasenberg

Recap of the GSOC Willamette Valley Transect Geotour - June 18, 2022

Thirteen happy participants of 2022’s first GSOC field trip piled into the back room of the Bear Creek Pizza parlor in Molalla this past Saturday night to eat dinner and sketch up their conclusions from the day’s journey across the Willamette Valley. GSOC Past President and Programming Director Sheila Alfsen led the group from Erratic Rock State Park on the west side of the valley to the Molalla Rosette to the east of the valley in more or less a straight line. The purpose of the trip was to observe the landforms of the Willamette Valley, concentrating on the fluvial processes at work in the sediments of the valley floor.

2022 PSU Beverly Vogt Grant Awardees

June 01, 2022/ Carole Miles

GSOC is pleased to announce our 2022 PSU Beverly Vogt grant awardees! Each applicant was awarded $1,000 to be used toward the achievement of their degree. Each awardee has expressed gratitude to GSOC members for this financial support toward their research goals. Once they complete their research, we plan to have each of them share their findings with GSOC through a Friday Night lecture and/or a Saturday Zoom meetup session.

Note: Our three Master’s candidates have expressed interest in having GSOC members assist them in their fieldwork. We are currently working with them to find out dates and what their needs will be. If you are interested in providing some assistance in the field, please contact a GSOC board member or email the PSU Bev Vogt committee members at: gsocfundforpsu@gsoc.org
