Description
“The Young Volcanos of Northwest Wyoming: Characteristics and Causes” July 5, 6pm
“The Young Volcanos of Northwest Wyoming: characteristics and causes”: is presented by The Wyoming Community Bank Discovery Speaker Series Program on July 5th at 6pm. The greater Dubois region is home to numerous small-volume volcanoes, like Lava Mountain, that were active over the last 5 million years.
Matt Brueseke, PhD of Kansas State University, will discuss the types of volcanoes, styles of volcanism, and current research that is focused on understanding why these volcanoes formed and if they are related to the Yellowstone hotspot that underlies Yellowstone National Park.
This talk is free and open to the public.
