About the Dibblee Geological Foundation
The Dibblee Geological Foundation was created as a non-profit California education organization by those who admire the quality and quantity of Tom Dibblee's geologic mapping. The Foundation's mission was to help preserve the scientific, technical, educational and economic values of Dibblee's life work through timely publication. In 2002 the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum partnered with the Dibblee Geological Foundation to create the Dibblee Geology Center. The initial goal of the Dibblee Geology Center was to complete the publication of all of Tom Dibblee's 550 quadrangles as 419 maps. That goal has been reached.
