* Antelope Island -- evidence of global climate change*
/ May 3, 2008, 9:00AM -5:00PM
Meet at the park entrance (east side of causeway)./
This course introduces the shorelines of Lake Bonneville and Great Salt
Lake as precious archives of recent Earth systems history
(geoantiquities). Evidence for global and local climate change will be
discussed and geologic relationships will be worked out in the field.
Participants look for evidence of climate change and contrast conditions
on Antelope Island 15,000 years ago with conditions just a couple dozen
years ago during the 1980s wet cycle. Then they imagine the changed
conditions at their schools of Ice Age time to the present. Register
