Scenes from the JSG and Texas Exes Alumni Scotland Trip
October 22, 2014
From Aug. 23 to Sept. 3, 2014, Jackson School of Geosciences alumni joined the Flying Longhorns alumni group to tour Scotland. The group took a historic and cultural journey through the country, visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lock Ness, the Isle of Skye and other areas of the Scottish Highlands. Alumni were also treated to geological field trips led by Ian Dalziel, a Scottish-born geologist and research professor at the Jackson School. Dalziel led the group on geological tours of Assynt in the northwest Caledonian front, the dormant volcano Arthur’s Seat and the famous geological phenomenon Siccar Point.
