Welcome to Jon's Geology Site
Geology ROCKS!!
Write me at:
My name is Jon Major, I am an geology undergraduate at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. I hope to finish my bachelor's degree within the next 3 years and pursue a master's degree after that. Besides geology, I enjoy hiking, music, camping, sports, boating, making movies, photography, astronomy, and reading.
I enjoy traveling somewhat, and have enjoyed checking out the geology wherever I go. I have visited a few countries in Europe, plan on traveling to Italy and the Southern Alps next summer, and lived in Latvia for two years. I try to visit Utah's national parks as much as possible and am constantly striving to understand as much of Utah's geology as I can.
Geology has changed me. Driving I have found a sudden interest in roadcuts and scan the landscapes for faults, anticlines, and other related things. Sedimentary layers are a favorite of mine. The other weekend I saw a preview for the new movie Transformers. One of the secenes shows a probe on Mars, and as I was looking at the "Martian" surface I noticed mudcracks. I thought to myself, hey, those are mudcracks, there's no way that is the surface of Mars, or that would be the biggest discovery ever on Mars. I leaned over to my cousin and told her that there was no way it was the surface of Mars because those were mudcracks. She probably thought I was weird.
