The Champlain Thrust newsletter was a memorable UVM Geology Department tradition. The 2018-2019 edition was the last.

Big "thank you" to Jack Drake for his efforts  keeping you updated and connected over the years. We hope you've enjoyed reading  news from the department and from each other.

 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. With current department news and updates from alums, the newsletter was a good mix of the old and the new.
