Investigating Past and Future Landscapes of the Sierra Nevada

Past climates in the region characterized by ice ages or droughts leave clues that are etched into our mountain slopes. These records remain today for us to uncover in the field, laboratory, and through computer modeling efforts.

Ongoing weather and climate research in the Sierra Nevada and Great Basin and how it shapes our understanding of the greater Earth system will be discussed in the next Tahoe Center for Environmental Science free public lecture.

Benjamin Hatchett, from the University of Nevada Reno, Nevada State Climate Office will be the guest speaker for the December 4 event.

The program will begin at 6 p.m. (happy hour begins at 5:30 p.m.) at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences, 291 Country Club Drive in Incline Village on the campus of Sierra Nevada College. For more information or directions call 775-881-7566, or visit http://tahoe.ucdavis.edu/events/.
