The novice and seasoned geologists from the University of Rochester have gone out with the eye trackers about four times a day over their two - week field trip across California, which took them from San Francisco by the San Andreas Fault through the
snowy Sierra Nevada
near Yosemite National Park to the harshest
area of the U.S. «Death Valley is a great place, where one can really see active geology firsthand — forces that are shaping the crust of the earth,» says geophysicist John A. Tarduno, another of the Rochester scientists.
