Otto Muller

Geology Department, Alfred University

I began this project wondering why no one had ever done it before... A consumer of GIS, and particularly enamored with Google Earth, I find plotting up field trips from decades ago to be more fun than a crossword puzzle.


Bill Kelly

State Geologist, New York State Geological Survey, Retired

Bill has been trying for years to make the vast amount of information contained in the NYSGA Guidebooks more accessible, and more useful, to a variety of people - geologists, geology teachers, geology students, and even normal people. Executive Secretary of the NYSGA from 1997 to 1999, his enthusiasm for this project was key in getting it started


Alan Benimoff

Dept of Engineering Science and Physics, College of Staten Island, C.U.N.Y.

Executive Secretary of NYSGA from 1999 through 2011, Alan was a strong supporter of this project from its inception.


Dave Valentino

S.U.N.Y. Oswego, Oswego, NY.

Executive Secretary of NYSGA from 2012 through 2019, Dave not only helped move this project along, but actually incorporated the database in one of his classes.


Brian S. Carl

Potdam, NY

Brian took over the NYSGA website in 2017, and is in the process of importing this project's website. As I have been hosting it on my personal website, this move is critical to the long term viability of the project. In the process, he has categorized the field trips so that visitors to the site can search by subject.


Alex Barthaolomew

S.U.N.Y. New Paltz, New Paltz, NY

The transition from paper to digital required someone to run all of the older Guidebooks through a scanner and collate the results. Seeing the need, Alex got it done, contributing greatly to the project.
