Lutgens is an avid runner, and when he can make the time, truly enjoys hiking the canyons of the Colorado Plateau. Tarbuck enjoys downhill skiing in Colorado, fly fishing near his childhood home in Northern Minnesota, and spending time in the Cascades. Not only do Tarbuck, Lutgens, and Tasa work well together creatively they also enjoy spending time in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Tasa’s New Mexico studio. Since then the three have collaborated on more than twenty projects. In 1983, as the first edition of Earth was being prepared, gifted geology illustrator Dennis Tasa joined the author team. That book, winner of the McGuffy Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, is now going into its tenth edition.

Lutgens and Tarbuck published their first college text, Earth Science, in 1976. They share a special interest in introducing geology to beginning students and a belief in the value of field experiences for students of all levels. Between them, they have more than 57 years of experience teaching geology to undergraduates, and both have been recognized with awards as excellent and inspiring professors.
