Lecture: The California Coast — Past, Present, and Future (2060 VLSB) |
‹ California's coast changes constantly as geology molds it, climate influences it, and sea level fluctuations reconfigure it. Professor Jere Lipps discusses these processes and their effects on the state over time. See the companion display in 1101 VLSB. |
| Fossils: From Prospecting to Publication: Follow the "life of a fossil" from its discovery, through preparation and study, to the dissemination of knowledge gained from it through publication and teaching. The process is shown through exhibits and demonstrations. (Wallace Atrium, 1st floor VLSB) |
