If you ever wanted to know more about the earth history of our big and beautiful island, don’t miss this presentation of three fascinating, rarely discussed geological situations: what they are, what they tell us and how you yourself can explore them.
Join University of Hawaii at Hilo geology faculty members Rick Hazlett, Cheryl Gansecki and Steven Lundblad, co-authors of a forthcoming revision of the now-classic “Roadside Geology of Hawai‘i,” from 7-8:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30, or 3-4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, during the Lyman Museum’s next Patricia E. Saigo Public Program Series event.
The lineup includes Waipio Valley and the Kohala Coast, the northward movement of the Wailuku Channel in Hilo and the “migrating” East Rift Zone of Kilauea volcano. Each vignette during the presentation features cartoon drawings, photos and interpretations that will help audience members observe Hawaiian landscapes with an appreciation of what geologists are learning about them.
Admission is free to museum members; $3 for nonmembers.
The nationally accredited and Smithsonian-affiliated Lyman Museum is located at 276 Haili St. in downtown Hilo.
