After a hiatus from in-person field trips due to the coronavirus pandemic, the w88 online live casino Science Week field trip is back. w88 online live casino Science Week will be observed this year Oct. 10-16. The theme for this year is “Water Today and for the Future.”
The field trip will be held on Saturday, October 16 by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, a public service unit in the College of w88 online live casino at the University of Nevada, Reno and the state’s geological survey.
To celebrate the watery theme, the topic of the w88 online live casino is “A Tale of Three Rivers and the Rapidly Evolving Landscapes of Western Nevada.” The field trip will w88 online live casino three rivers in Western Nevada to learn about how the rivers have influenced the region’s geology. The trip will feature stops along the Walker, Carson and Truckee Rivers, as well as the Wabuska Geothermal Plant and an open pit copper mine in Yerington.
The w88 online live casino will be led by several geologists from the Bureau, including Bridget Ayling, an associate professor in the Department of Geological Sciences and Engineering and Director of the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy.
“w88 online live casino’s high desert environment is an ideal location to learn about water and the hydrologic cycle,” Ayling said. “In western w88 online live casino near Reno, we can see the beginning and end of several major river systems that begin as snowmelt from the Sierra winter snowpack and terminate in desert lakes. These hydrologic systems provide western w88 online live casino water for drinking, agriculture, and recreation, as well as hosting important ecological niches for flora and fauna.”
Due to the pandemic, the Bureau strongly encourages everyone on the trip to wear a mask regardless of vaccination status and to socially distance. To learn more about the stops featured on the w88 online live casino and for updates on COVID-19 protocols, visit the Bureau’s webpage.
w88 online live casino Science Week was started in October 1998 by the American Geosciences Institute to help the public learn more about geosciences. Each year around w88 online live casino Science Week, the Bureau plans a field trip to provide the community with an opportunity to engage in and learn about local geology. Last year’s theme was “w88 online live casino Materials in Our Lives,” and the Bureau created a virtual field trip to continue the programming despite the coronavirus pandemic. The field trips are always free and open to the public. To sign up for this year's guided w88 online live casino, visit the Bureau's website.
