Taste of Science: Grand Forces of Change - How Climate and Culture Landscape the Planet
Tuesday February 25th
Grand Forces of Change - How Climate and Culture Landscape the Planet Details Travel back in time several millennia with paleoclimatologist Dr. Gerry Rustic to look at how the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) weather pattern has shaped both the landscape and the people of our entire planet and, more specifically, the American Southwest. Then, fast-forward to 1919 and the formation of the Grand Canyon as a National Park. Dr. Laurel Brierly will discuss how the public intersects with the landscape and conservation/preservation at the Grand Canyon, as well as her role in providing stewardship and inspiration as a seasonal park ranger.
