1) SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY DIBBLEE GEOLOGY CENTER PRESENTS TEN NEW DIBBLEE MAPS AND ANNOUNCES JOHN MINCH AS THE NEW DIBBLEE MAP EDITOR
The Dibblee Geology Center of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History has released ten new Tom Dibblee maps of the San Luis Obisbo County region. This year alone, the Dibblee Geology Center plans to release 40 new Dibblee maps. Using an all digital map-making process we are able to decrease the amount of time needed to produce and publish each map and to create a set standard for all Dibblee maps.
The Museum would also like to welcome John Minch as the Map Editor for the Dibblee Geology Center. John is well known in the geologic community having published nearly a hundred papers and abstracts, held a number of society offices, and served on local and national committees. As well as bringing a new style of producing the high quality Dibblee maps in digital form, John works first hand with Tom Dibblee in the editing and drafting of each map. John has been actively involved in extending the legacy of Tom Dibblee and will continue to contribute his expertise at the Dibblee Geology Center.
Over the course of 75 years, the legendary Tom Dibblee has created maps that have been instrumental in understanding CaliforniaÕs geology. Today, Dibblee, who personally mapped more than a quarter of the state of California, remains actively involved in the publication of each new map. The magnitude, integrity, and permanence of Dibblee's geologic mapping are truly unprecedented and legendary, which is why it is the first priority of the Dibblee Geology Center to complete the publication of TomÕs maps.
Dibblee maps are renowned for their high quality and serve a diverse group of users such as engineering geologists, oil companies, U.S. Forest Service, environmentalists and students, among others. To date, the Dibblee Geology Center has released 107 maps and 3 CDs. The ten new maps of San Luis Obisbo County are 7.5-minute quadrangles of:
