Inaugurated in 1966, the Earth and Space Science Club is Loyola's oldest continually running club. It is chiefly involved with physical and life sciences such as geology, astronomy, oceanography, meteorology, and paleontology. The club periodically runs field trips throughout Southern California in which students hike, camp, and visit sites such as volcanoes, caves, mines, observatories, fossil areas, tide pools, etc. The club also meets at least once each week to view movies and work in the lab.
