The Kit and Charlie Moncrief Conversations
The Geology Department is very pleased to announce an occasional series of talks
on geologic themes. All are welcome, whatever the heterogeneity of their academic
journeys.
As someone said, long ago; “Civilization exists by Geological consent and is subject
to Change without notice.” We should listen!
The Earth is the omnipresent essential backdrop to all of our lives, and it behooves
us to understand its habits and idiosyncrasies, its moods and challenges, and to enjoy
conversations between humankind and Earth, conversations that can be both symbiotic
and Socratic.
Accordingly, the Geology Department at Texas Christian University will offer an irregular
series of talks on eclectic themes that explore the human and scientific interfaces
of our home planet.
If you have to miss, the talks will be available in PDF format.
The first talk, given by the Moncrief Chair holder was: Clans and Conglomerates, Cliffs
and Conglomerates. Canto the First.
The second will be: The Old Red Sandstone a Fishy Tail.
