Unless otherwise indicated, the project titles posted below are available on a first-come, first-served basis. I'll post the name of the "claimant" next to each topic. Watch this page for constant updates.

The list below is not intended to be exhaustive. There's plenty of geology to view during the trip(!), and so if you'd like to propose another topic (or a more specific topic), see BSE or ACA.

To "claim" a project, contact BSE, NDSU Geosciences.

To carry out a literature search, go to the NDSU library's journal page, choose a database and try this search string:(((scabland* or columbia plateau or glacial lake missoula) and (washington or oregon or idaho)).
For literature on the Clarkia fossils try this: clarkia and idaho and fossil*.

Citation and reference format for each chapter is to strictly following the format of the Geological Society of America publications (see any G.S.A. journal or book for examples, or click here and scroll to the bottom of the page for samples of different reference styles.

The guidebook will be organized into Chapters.
