Seeing Time: Geologic Clues to Our Ancient Earth
Earth’s beautiful scenery is old by human standards, but it’s much younger than the actual rock that underlies it. Rocks tell stories of much older periods in Earth’s history. Seeing Time, a slide show presentation by University of Oregon geologist Marli Miller, explores deep geologic time through field observations and landscape images. After introducing some basic geologic principles, she will lead the audience on a visual field trip across the Colorado Plateau and into Death Valley, California.
Marli Miller, PhD, is senior instructor and associate research professor in the geological sciences at the University of Oregon. She has been taking geological photographs since before starting graduate school at the University of Washington in the mid-1980s. She is currently writing a book on western American geology as seen through national parks.

Anyone can come. They tend to be more like a lectuer/slide presentation usually. The only danger may be boredom if you or your children don't find it interesting. Or, if it's very popular, not finding seating if you don't show up at least 30 min before.

So what's the best time to arrive and how do we find each other?
Also, do you know roughly how long it will be?Posted April 3, 2010 at 5:31 PM -

Joe, I don't recall any swearing in previous SciencePubs, but I don't have an ear for that since I don't have kids yet. I would expect a talk on geology to be free of nakedness and violence too. Though research professors do have a wild and crazy reputation that proceeds them :)
Sage, I usually show up at 6:20. I stand at the back of the auditorium with my big white CFI logo sweatshirt from 6:30 to 6:45. Last month was the only time I've seen it sold out. Show up by 6:30 and you'll find us.

Will this be "kid friendly" or will there be a lot of nakedness, violence, and swearing?
