Dr. Richard Baker continues his series of lectures this winter about geology in our national parks with presentations on Wednesdays, Nov. 12 (Zion and Bryce Canyon), Jan. 28 (Isle Royale and Voyageurs), and March 25 (Glacier Bay and Kenai Fjords).


The lectures are free and last about one hour. They begin at the Visitor Center of Herbert Hoover National Historic Site at 7 p.m.

The lecture series is offered in recognition of President Herbert Hoover’s interests in geology and conservation.

Dr. Baker is a professor emeritus in the Geoscience Department at University of Iowa. He completed his doctorate research at Yellowstone National Park. He has traveled to many of our national parks and has taught a course on them at the University of Iowa.
