Description:

Oregon hosts the shortest, yet one of the most interesting and event-filled geologic histories of any western state. This history includes the building of Oregon’s foundation and its addition to the North American Continent, creation of numerous mountain ranges, and unimaginably huge volcanic eruptions. We see this history in Oregon’s rock record, which underlies an equally interesting and diverse landscape, and which is exposed along Oregon’s highways.

In this talk, geologist and photographer Dr. Marli Miller of the University of Oregon will describe Oregon’s geological story as laid out in her book //Roadside Geology of Oregon//. She will have copies of the book for purchase and signing after the talk.
