After three years of planning, the first Carleton Earth Sciences field course to Morocco is now in the books!  Nineteen undergraduate students, seven graduate students (including three from the University of Ottawa Earth Sciences department), three instructors/geologists from Carleton (Richard Ernst, Hafida El Bilali, and I), and our colleague Moha Ikenne from the Université Ibn Zohr in Agadir, spent two weeks learning about the geology and culture of Morocco.  It was the trip/course of a lifetime.  The geology, the food, the friendly attitude of Moroccans, the culture, the history, and “Moha Surprises” along the route made this an all-star field course.  Many other people contributed to the success of the trip.  Dr. Moussa Masrour (Ibn Zohr) gave us a terrific tour through the Anza dinosaur track locality.  Said Belkacim (Ibn Zohr) accompanied us for the first four days, as did a surprise participant, Yvette Kuiper (Colorado School of Mines), who happened to be in Morocco at the same time as we were.  Her structural geology background was invaluable during those first four days.  We had two excellent mine tours, the first at the Bou Azzer Co-Ni mine by Ilmen Said and the second at the Imiter Ag mine by Hakim El Bahat.  Youssef Driouch (Univ. Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Fés) and a colleague led our day in the Fés area.  Mohamed Khalil Bensalah and Nasrrddine Youbi (Cadi Ayyad Univ., Marrakech) gave us a superb tour of the Jebilet layered intrusion/dyke complex and the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), respectively.  We are indebted to our two minibus drivers, Omar and Omar, for their superb driving and letting us stream music to the bus sound systems!  Our travel agency leader, M. Balmekki (Berber Explores, M’Rirt, Morocco) did a superb job with accommodations and transportation arrangements.  The biggest thanks go to Moha Ikenne for designing a wonderful itinerary and his many introductions to Moroccan culture!
