Abstract

Streetcar2Subduction (https://www.agu.org/streetcar2subduction) was launched in December 2019 as a digital update and extension of the timeless 1984 classic field trip guide “Streetcar to Subduction” by Clyde Wahrhaftig . Supported by the American Geophysical Union, we were given early access to the Google Earth Creation Tools in order to build and launch several geology and tectonics field trips in the San Francisco Bay Area. In this contribution, we share some advice and suggestions for students and instructors building their own field trip guides in Google Earth Creation Tools.
