Lecture:
Burning Boulders and Glaciation of Fremont Lake
with Dr. Edward B. Evenson, glacial geologist
Tuesday, June 4th
6 pm
Have you ever wondered about the seemingly random boulder placement around Fremont Lake? Turns out it’s not quite as random as one might think. Join Dr. Edward B. Evenson, glacial geologist associated with the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University on Tuesday, June 4th at 6 pm to find out why. Evenson will explain how to recognize, map and assign ages to the glacial deposits around Fremont Lake. He will also talk about the affect of sage fires on the moraines close to the lake versus those closer to Pinedale. Evenson will lecture briefly at the library and then take his lecture on the road to Fremont Lake. Participants are encouraged to car pool to the overlook.
