Inhaltsangabe

Donahue and Miller discuss geological locations and phenomena in the mountainous state of Colorado that are largely accessible from paved roads. However, they warn, a few of them are very remote, and accessing them requires advanced planning, current maps in addition to GPS or digital/cellular navigational tools, and a vehicle (and driver) capable of handling the occasional dirt road and snowy or icy conditions. They present the 50 articles in sections on the Front Range and Great Plains, Central Rockies, San Juan Mountains and Rio Grande Rift, and western canyons and plateaus.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Magdalena Sandoval Donahue grew up in northern New Mexico, fascinated by the mountains and valleys of the high desert at the southern end of the Rocky Mountains. She received a BS in Geological Sciences and a BS in Fine Arts from the University of Oregon, where she took structural geology from Marli Miller, her coauthor on this book. She obtained her MS and PhD from the University of New Mexico, and much of her research focused on the evolution of topography and mountain ranges in Colorado. She lives in Albuquerque with her husband, John, and three children.

Marli B. Miller is a senior instructor and researcher at the University of Oregon. She completed her BA in geology at Colorado College in 1982 and her MS and PhD in structural geology at the University of Washington in 1987 and 1992, respectively. Marli teaches a variety of courses, including introductory geology, structural geology, field geology, and geophotography. In addition to numerous technical papers, she is the author of Oregon Rocks, Roadside Geology of Oregon, Roadside Geology of Washington with coauthor Darrel Cowan, and Geology of Death Valley National Park with coauthor Lauren A. Wright. Because she maintained an active interest in Colorado geology since college, she was thrilled to become a part of this project. Marli has two daughters, Lindsay and Megan.
