EARTHtalk lecture to discuss geology of Arkansas]]> Dr. Thomas Colby, visiting assistant professor in the University of Arkansas at 糖心视频logo Department of Earth Sciences, will discuss the geologic history of Europe and Arkansas and their relation to the construction of Pangea, during his EARTHtalk lecture Wednesday, Sept. 20. 鈥淓arth鈥檚 history is literally written in the rocks, and geology is just learning to understand that language,鈥� Colby stated.

His lecture will begin at 6 p.m. in the George W. Donaghey College of Engineering and Information Technology auditorium. Colby obtained his master鈥檚 degree in geological sciences from San Diego State University and his Ph.D. in geosciences from Boise State University. His research interests of using techniques to investigate and understand aspects of collision mountain building are assisting him in his work on current projects in the western United States and Sardinia, Italy.
