On-The-Rocks Guidebooks
Over the decade from September 1988 to November 1998, Duke geologists Drs. Charles Merguerian and John E. Sanders conducted forty-two On-The-Rocks field trips within a 125-mile radius of the New York area. They coauthored twenty four illustrated guidebooks that, through detailed road logs and locality descriptions, took the reader out, On-the-Rocks (tm).
Each guide sports a spectacular 90# card stock cover and includes an extensive reference list and a host digitally remastered illustrations. Destined to become highly sought after collector's items and forever useful for oil spills, taking mushroom prints, and all phases of post-nuclear bartering, information and order blanks are available. We have compiled an On-The-Rocks web-based database of 185 field trip localities for our friends and colleagues.
Exciting News! Recent efforts by Dukelabs has resulted in a major step forward on production of the fabled "New Jersey Roadside Geology" guide. Fieldwork is underway with coauthor Dave Harper, digitizing and collection of images for the book has been completed. We expect completion in 2009.
Dukelabs' Favorite Links
As far as the links below are concerned, just a few notes as to what you may find. In a rare move toward organization and to give the appearance that we've effected a "major overhaul" of our webpage, we have worked on our linkages (we used WD-40 and needle-nosed pliers). New categories have been created and dead links and our editorial staff (dead wood) have been reduced to ashes. The Dukelabs Active Links section is devoted to latest our main public offerings including a link to our comprehensive On-The-Rocks Locality Database, our New York City/Appalachian Reference Database, Classic NYC Minerals Page, a Dukelabs Image Gallery, Shrine to Firecracker Labels, and many other venues.
The Dukelabs Archive acts as a repository (toxic dumpsite?) for all of our past five years of everchanging web offerings. New content and links from the Active Links eventually end up in the Archive section. With our new server and more time, this area should increase in dimension as we've already archived all of our old material and just need the time to massage it into shape. Dukelabs regulars can stroll down "memory lane" while newcomers have lots to read, download, ponder, and ultimately ignore.
The Useful Geological Links provides a rapid connection to an evergrowing constellation of geological links for students and professionals providing direct connections to almost all government-, state-, university-, and geotechnical data- and image sources with modest surfing and limited fees (read that as free). We also provide a direct link with the United Geological Survey's Mapping Information Program. Need to download an index map or to look up a geographic or topographic feature? Click on the USGS link and visit GNIS and other allied services for free help and support. See and download super images from space at the Visual Earth website. Remember, that "they are the government and they're there to help you". Far as we can see, with all of the wonderful resources of the web, government and private organizations have brought depth and quality to the information superhighway. Enjoy the electron flow.
