Upon entering into the meeting, please keep your video turned off and your microphone muted so that the call runs more smoothly. Our Zoom plan was donated to us, and only allows for 100 people on a call, so only the first 100 people who click the link will be able to watch the program live. If you drop in after 100 people are already on the chat, don't worry, we'll be recording the talk and will post it to the Montana State Parks YouTube channel later.
Join cave expert Rich Aram as he presents “The Geologic Story of Lewis and Clark Caverns: Not Always Dark, Not Always Silent, Not Always Dusty.” This program will offer a rare and surprising view of caves, discussing them not as dark, dirty places, but as creations of the sun and clear waters. Rich will bring to light the mysteries of the past and explain how the forces that created the caverns are still affecting them today.
This is the fifth talk in our annual Friday Summer Speakers Series for 2020, which introduces a new speaker each Friday throughout the summer. This is the LAST Zoom speaker. Talks from this point forward will be held in-person at the park.
Rich Aram studied Lewis and Clark Caverns as his Masters thesis from Montana State University. He wandered the hills to decipher the geologic history that created the canyon and cave, and helped to re-explore and re-map the cave. He has since done geologic work elsewhere in Montana and around the world. He has conducted workshops on how to better teach science at international educators conferences in nine countries. He has led numerous geology field trips around the cave for university students. He hopes to complete his book on the geologic history of Lewis and Clark Caverns soon.
