The five geologic excursions described in Field Guide 76 provide field-based perspectives on the long-term evolution of the Baja California peninsula and adjacent Gulf of California. By integrating observations across multiple disciplines and time scales, these trips illustrate how tectonics, magmatism, sedimentation, and climate have interacted to shape the landscapes and ecosystems of northwestern México.
Together, the excursions highlight the scientific value of southern Baja California as a key region for understanding plate-boundary evolution, landscape evolution, and links between geology and ecosystems. This volume serves as a resource for amateur and professional geologists who are interested in visiting key geologic sites in southern Baja California, and will inspire future interest and ideas in geologic research along the peninsula.
