GEOLOGY OF THE QUIMPER PENINSULA AREA
Illustrated Lecture: Friday, June 26 at 3:30  pm, Jefferson County Library

Hank Schasse of Olympia, WA (retired, Dept. of Natural Resources, Geology), will discuss the geology of the Port Townsend and Quimper Peninsula region with a one-hour illustrated lecture at Jefferson County Library, starting 3:30 pm on Friday, June 26.  Seating is limited to about 60 persons.  The Jefferson Land Trust’s Geology Group invites public participation at no cost, but $5 donations would be appreciated to offset expenses.  

Hank will describe the bedrock and Ice-Age deposits in the Port Townsend and Port Hadlock areas. His talk will illustrate many of the features he mapped in 2004-05. Come prepared to ask general questions about your favorite areas and outcrops.

Hank earned geology degrees from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and Penn State University. He worked for the Army Corps of Engineers, as a consulting geologist, and later as staff geologist with Pennsylvania Geologic Survey. Hank joined Washington State’s geological survey in 1981, initially involved in its coal program. During his 27 year career with the State, he helped map and compile two quadrants for the Geologic Map of Washington. Hank spent the last decade of his career mapping on the northern Olympic Peninsula from Sequim to Port Angeles and published five maps covering the geology of the Quimper Peninsula, south Whidbey Island, and Camano Island, as well as mapping along the south Puget Sound.
