For resolute Pinelands’s enthusiasts:
I’ll be back at University of Pennsylvania’s Morris Arboretum teaching a one-day geography course this Fall. It is hosted under the School of Arboriculture, so there will be lots of botany, geology, and landscape study material. The advantage to this format is that there is plenty of time explain the subject matter in some depth. It is easy to interact with attendees, which isn't always possible in shorter talks. Some time will be spent on cold nonglacial (periglacial) landforms outside the Pine Barrens (boulder fields, patterned ground, scree slopes). It is surprising how little we actually know about Pleistocene conditions beyond the ice sheets in North America. I’ll also talk about some provocative new work we recently published in two Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences papers that demonstrate just how confounding and controversial the geologic record is even in the recent past. Lunch is included.
