Additional Information

Join us from 7-8 p.m. on April 21, 2015 at the Fort Collins Old Town Library for the School of Global Environmental Sustainability Antarctic Lecture Series. The speaker will be Nigel Kelly from the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado.

The continent of Antarctica represents a key piece in the jigsaw puzzles of ancient supercontinents. With current coastlines that once abutted with Australia, India and Africa when part of the supercontinent Gondwana, decades of research on basement geology has revealed links to older supercontinents back in deep time. This talk will introduce how research on rocks exposed amongst the ice has contributed to our broader understanding of the evolution of the continents through Earth history. This event is free to the public.
