Reaching Back Through Time in Death Valley
Death Valley's aridity and extensive rock record allows recognition of most of the seminal geologic events that affected western North America. This talk will survey the area's modern features that are evolving today and then work back in time to it's earliest rocks formed during the Proterozoic.
