CANCELLED: Unearth Connecticut's Geologic Mysteries In-Person
DUE TO MATTERS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE'RE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Did you know once there were mountains in Connecticut as high as the Himalaya mountains? Do you know why Connecticut soil is so rocky and why it is nearly impossible to get rid of the rocks? Did you know that the rocks in part of Connecticut are the same as those in the Netherlands? How is this possible given the distance and an ocean between them? If you were standing where the Durham Library is some 200 million years ago, can you guess what two-legged, ferocious animal might have eaten you?
Unearth CT’s Geologic Mysteries with Dr. Gary Robbins, Emeritus Professor in the Departments of Natural Resources and Earth Sciences at UConn in Storrs. He was a Professor at UConn for 37 years specializing in groundwater and water resources before retiring in 2023.
