============================================================ January 18th Program
"Atacama Landscapes:
A Glimpse at the Driest Place on Earth"
---------
Presented by: Craig Kochel
Views of landscapes and active processes in the Altiplano of Chile. NASA views the Atacama as an environment that represents the boundaries of life on Earth, with places where it hasn't rained in hundreds of years and even bacteria can't be found in the soils. Craig will focus mostly on geological processes shaping the region - volcanism on an active converging tectonic boundary, wind, weathering, and rivers. Even in this driest of regions, effects of water erosion still dominates much of the surface landscape features. Photos will include views of several of the high salt flats "salars", the world's highest geyser field "El Tatio", some of the worlds most active volcanos, and snippets of the bird life high on the Altiplano.
Craig Kochel is a professor of geology at Bucknell University. His research interests include Appalachian debris fans, Virginia Barrier Islands, and the Geomorphology of Mars.
