UC Davis prof lecture on geology

The Tahoe Environmental Research Center hosts UC Davis geology Professor Eldridge Moores, who will give a lecture on our regional landscapes.

California and western Nevada have a long and storied past including plate movements, granitic intrusions, volcanism, and collisions of island arcs and continental fragments with the western US over the past 250 million years. Rocks are historical archives. One can read these archives of Earth history if one knows the language of geology. Major challenges in the 21st century, including climate change, energy, resources, water, and earth hazards, deeply involve geology.

Moores is a distinguished professor emeritus in the UC Davis Geology Department, where he has been a faculty member since 1966. His specialty is Structural Geology and Tectonics. Details: rspellman@ucdavis.edu.
