As a historian of the earth sciences and a fellow traveler, let's just say that it depends on what kind of geology you do. Compared to where I live (a few hundred yards from the Rose Canyon fault, capable of generating a 7+ magnitude earthquake right under I-5 at any time), Nebraska is structurally and tectonically dullsville. Apologies to those who live on the stable craton. Almost any part of the country is more interesting. Even Kansas has the chalk hills. Mark
