Welcome to our blog! Here we will be writing updates on our trip to South Africa and our study of the geology in the Karoo Basin. On January 3rd Dr. Gastaldo, Tara, and I will depart Boston on our way to Cape Town (where we will meet up with Dan) and continue on to Nieu Bethesda in the Karoo Basin. The internet situation may be spotty but we will do our best to keep you updated with posts and photos of our experience.
