“LOCAL GEOLOGY” PROGRAMS for schools and adult groups

  • All programs run about 45 - 60 minutes (with discussion).
  • Teacher workshops with field component available; please call.

 

1. “Dinosaurs Dunes and Drifting Continents: the geology of the Connecticut River Valley”   POWERPOINT program

 

This program covers 600 million years of geologic history illustrating how the Connecticut Valley Region evolved into the beautiful rocks and landscapes we see today.  Learn about where we were before Pangea and how the break-up of this “supercontinent” resulted in the Connecticut Valley.  Armored mud balls, dinosaurs, lava flows, glaciation, Lake Hitchcock, and our human links to our local geology are all covered, abundantly illustrated and with humor. 

This fast paced program has been seen by dozens of groups from seniors to upper elementary school through college classes.

 

2. “Fantastic Landscape' Connections”

 

This program in PowerPoint format draws on the author’s 25 years of leading groups to North America’s “fantastic landscapes”.  He will present pictures and stories from Hawaii, Alaska, Canadian Rockies, and the Western US and relate these scenic landscapes to the geologic history of the Connecticut Valley Region. You will be surprised and amazed at the “connections” we have to North America’s famous, dramatic, scenery.

 

3. “The Iceland – Connecticut Valley Connection: fire, ice, and continental creation”

 

Text Box:  This PowerPoint program will feature the pictures and experiences of Prof. Richard Little’s “Fantastic Landscapes” Tour to Iceland in August, 2007.  You will see how Iceland came to be such a unique place on Earth as we look at amazing waterfalls, the world’s most scenic geyser, great faults, and what happens when volcanoes erupt under glaciers.  The Connecticut Valley region's geological history has a lot in common with the spectacular events of Iceland and Prof. Little will illustrate our connections.

 

 

PROGRAM COSTS:  Negotiable, depending on equipment needed and distance and time involved, and grant availability.
