This book aims to introduce scientists and educated laymen to the fascinating geology of the Bergell Alps, first with some background information on geology, tectonics, minerals and rocks and then to lead readers on excursions to observe geological features in the field. We believe the best way to make readers familiar with local geology is to lead them to intriguing outcrops. Such books are common in North America, but missing in Europe, particularly for the Alps. With this work, we use hands-on experience at a series of sites to educate readers how individual outcrops, moraines, landslides or other features contribute to our broader understanding of the region's unique geology.
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Wenk is a plant ecologist with a PhD from UC Berkeley, investigating the distribution and physiology of alpine plants in California's Sierra Nevada. She works at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, broadly interested in plant functional traits. She pursues a second career as a hiking guide author for California's Sierra Nevada, having written the definitive book to the famous John Muir Trail and authoring award-winning hiking guides that cover the length of the mountain range. She has become familiar with Alpine geology at an early age on many hikes with her father. In this book her focus has been to prepare the complex multilayered digital maps that accompany every excursion.
