This discussion about the geology of Great Basin National Park is a beginner's introduction to the long and complex geologic history represented by the rocks at Great Basin National Park, whose ages range from the Precambrian (greater than 600 million years) to the Cenozoic (as young as 10 million years).

Our Speaker: Elizabeth Miller has taught at Stanford University for over 40 years. Through these years, she taught summer field geology in the southern and northern Snake Range. Undergraduate and graduate students camped in different places for six weeks during their summer field class and covered the ground on foot, charting the geologic details of the Snake Range and the surrounding mountain.
