ALT A students and staff gather for a group photo under the Milky Way in the desert of Arizona
ALT Frankie chatting away to fellow geoscientists in the food area of the conference. Brandishing a banana.
ALT Frankie sat on a wheelchair wearing a purple tshirt to the right of the image. She is presenting a slide titled “who are we?” Describing Ryan Hill and Frankie Butler as Geoscientists with Disabilities advocating for inclusion.

ALT Geospace base camp at SP Crater. White vans surround a rainbow colored shade canopy. Students and faculty gather round a large monitor in the back of an SUV to watch a livestream from the top of SP crater, a cinder cone that takes up the skyline in the background.
ALT Students rest and take in the view of the crater at the top of SP crater, with desert views and a vast lava flow in the background under dynamic clouds. In the middle ground, instructors are filming a livestream for virtual students participating from home.
ALT Two students explore the lava field amid the tall brown and green grasses. One student has her walking stick raised, arms outstretched and smiling at the camera. Another student photobombs from behind holding her walking sticks out wide.
ALT Students rest under the shade canopy around a large monitor in the back of an SUV showing a live video from the top of SP crater. A walkie talkie is passed around to ask questions to the group at the top.

ALT Alex @ABVolcanologist points out features of an a'a lava flow to other students (while likely deploying a painfully bad pun) at Sunset Crater National monument.
ALT Virtual GeoSPACE participants introduce Sunset Crater to the in-person students through remote sensing data. A group of people site facing a projector screen an image of Sunset Crater and zoom windows of virtual students.
ALT Lis Gallant @lisgallant uses the accessible van as a giant dry erase board to describe lava flow textures to students gathered around in the parking lot in front of the black and red hills of Sunset Crater volcano and pine trees.
