This year's GeoClub field trip was in Argentina and was led by Assistant Professor Andy Wickert.  From May 22 to June 1st, the group of 17 students visited geological features in and near Salta, Tilcara, and Buenos Aires. 

In the Puna de Atacama and the Altiplano, evaporation and lack of rainfall have allowed
for the formation of large salt flats filled with evaporites.
