The Champlain Thrust newsletter is a memorable UVM Geology Department tradition.  We hope you enjoy reading about the activities of the department and of each other.

The 2017 edition of the Champlain Thrust newsletter will be the last. We hope you've enjoyed news from the department, and from each other over the years. Big "thank you" to Jack Drake for his efforts to keep you updated and connected.

Social media seems to be the preferred means of communication; we look forward to keeping in touch on facebook.

The newsletter is named for a unique, local, geologic feature known as the  "Champlain Thrust." The thrust fault is acutally a "reverse thrust" because the older Dolostone is above the younger Shale. The newsletter is a good mix of the old and the new.
