Please contact Environmental Educator Tracey Hall at thall@bbrlt.org to be added to the waiting list*** \nDiscover the geology of the Boothbay Region with Professor of Geology Dave West during an easy walk around the universal access trails of BRLT’s Oak Point Farm. Join us for a general overview of the nearly 500 million-year geologic history preserved in the bedrock of the midcoast region of Maine. Although the current coast of Maine is relatively tame in terms of dramatic geologic activity\, this has not always been the case. Professor West will provide insight into the dramatic history preserved in the geologic features of the midcoast region\, including violent volcanic eruptions\, massive earthquakes\, and burial beneath over a mile of glacial ice. The spatial distribution of different rock types across the region\, and how they relate to the present-day landscape\, will also be discussed. \nDave West is a Professor of Geology at Middlebury College in Vermont who specializes in unraveling the bedrock geologic history of the northern Appalachians\, with a particular interest in coastal Maine geology. A North Carolina native\, Dave obtained his Masters and Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from the University of Maine and has been conducting geological research in Maine for over 30 years. Prior to arriving at Middlebury\, Dave taught at Bowdoin College\, Lafayette College in Pennsylvania\, and Earlham College in Indiana.
