Sculpt California’s Geologic History

Posted on 20 September 2018

As Californians, we live in a geologist’s paradise. The rocks from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains record the state’s complex geologic history. To better understand and appreciate the land around us, let’s construct a model one geologic step at a time with clay. In this one-hour workshop, you’ll fly through about 200 million years of time!

Join Fiona—a recent graduate of UC Davis’ Earth and Planetary Science department’s master’s program—and create a clay model of our region of California. She’ll bring her geologic expertise and a suite of rock samples. All materials provided.

No reservation required. This program was supported in whole or in part by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
