Show Notes
While the United States boasts incredible geology from coast to coast, Dr. Larry Crumpler says it's relatively silent. But New Mexico is different. "Here, it's just babbling away, and all you have to do is understand what it's saying. It turns out to be totally shocking and amazing most of the time." Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski invited Larry Crumpler and Jayne Aubele, two geologists working with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, to lead a virtual expedition through eons of the state's geologic history. As audiences will discover, Jayne and Larry share more than a fiery passion for this landscape. But first, the trio discusses what makes this diverse and wild place so special, the cultural implications arising from the volcanic processes that formed the area's rifts, and what New Mexico can teach us about Mars and Venus.
