Ms. Ferguson in the Field: December 2012
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Monday, December 17, 2012. Welcome to my fieldwork blog! I'm a grad student at Columbia University, and I get to spend Tuesdays with the 8th graders at the Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School. I will use this blog to keep in touch with these all-star students while I'm in the field. On January 3rd I depart for five weeks of fieldwork in Bangladesh and India. I hope you'll follow along as I explore the geology of Bangladesh and eastern India! My name is Ms. Fergu...

Ms. Ferguson in the Field: Greetings from Bangladesh!
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2013/01/greetings-from-bangladesh.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. We left JFK for Dhaka, Bangladesh on the morning of January 3. And arrived in the evening on January 4. There is an 11-hour time difference between Bangladesh and New York, so while you’re at school I am eating dinner, writing to you and sleeping because it’s night here! We are in Sitakund because the rocks are folded, in what we geologists call an “anticline.” The sedimentary rocks here are made of layers of sand and mud that were origi...We’re t...

Ms. Ferguson in the Field: January 2012
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Tuesday, January 17, 2012. The highlands of Meghalaya, India have been treating us well. The people are very friendly and helpful. A couple days ago, some men and boys led us down to the river from their village, which is called "Sohbar." The hike took about an hour, so we tried to pay them for their help. They wouldn't accept our money and were embarrassed by the offer because we were their guests! What secrets can we learn from these rocks? I’ve been collecting samples o...

Ms. Ferguson in the Field: Detective work
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2013/02/detective-work.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Geologists are like detectives. We are trying to piece together the story of how and when the rocks formed and how and when they have moved. Every rock has a story to tell about the environment when it formed. The rocks in these mountains also tell the history of motion on faults underground. Limestone is also really cool because it can be dissolved and form caves. We found and explored a cave in India! Luis Tapia asked how rocks are folded, which is a...

Ms. Ferguson in the Field: Faults and earthquakes!
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2013/02/faults-and-earthquakes.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Thursday, February 7, 2013. At a rock outcrop, the main things we look for are bedding planes (that were originally flat) and faults. Faults are cracks in the rock where the rocks have moved. Huge faults can produce huge earthquakes. Little faults can help us learn about tectonic forces and buried faults that we can't access. This fault had a layer of crushed up rock almost three feet thick. We were able to climb inside the fault zone to take our measurements! On January 9th the...

Ms. Ferguson in the Field: Trip through Tripura
http://msfergusoninthefield.blogspot.com/2013/01/trip-through-tripura.html
Ms Ferguson in the Field. Monday, January 21, 2013. I apologize for the delay in posting, we have been without internet access. Here's a post I wrote last week for you! It has been very foggy and chilly in the mornings. We have enjoyed delicious breakfasts of parata (flat bread), dal (lentils), ‘momlet’ (eggs), and cha (tea). It really hits the spot on a cold morning! We visited the Unakoti archeological site where giant figures were carved into a nearly vertical bed of sandstone during the 9. Program th...
