Great talk! Thank you. I live in Las Vegas and also make a point to spend time in Death Valley regularly. It's a really magical place.

Andrew, great informative talk. Have fun with your masters program.

I'm a 4th generation native of SoCal and majored in geology in 68-74 near San Bernardino, right on the San Andreas. This is a fantastic presentation with lots of good details. DV was one of our field trips. So much new information has been learned since then, I'm just fascinated. Well done, Andrew, and best of luck with your studies. I love your enthusiasm for the subject.

Thanks for the presentation; very interesting information.

Great presentation Andrew! I’m a geologist with Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP). I started with DWP about 1 year ago. I graduated from Cal State Northbridge in 2000 and I have lived in Southern California most of my life. A lot of my current work is in the Owen’s Valley. DWP owns a large portion of the Owen’s Valley. The Los Angeles Aqueduct passes through the Owen’s Valley and there are a series of reservoirs along the aqueduct. I am currently working on two new dams that will be constructed between Lone Pine and Bishop. I was looking to learn more about the general geologic history of the area. Your presentation was very informative. Thank you, Cameron Kennedy

Well, I'm seeing this 3 years after you gave your presentation. I must say, I hope you continue with your focus on DV. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are very inspiring. I am a artist/painter and love to study the geology of what I am painting. Thank you for doing a great job.

This is excellent, thank you for sharing your fascination.

Good work thank you.

This was great! Thank you!

Andrew, nice presentation! I just now watched it in Moscow Region of Russia. Where are you now? I grew up in Portland and graduated from Portland State College (before it became University) in 1976 and then got PhD in Chemistry from University of California San Diego. I have lived and worked in many interesting places. It would be nice to communicate with you -- perhaps through ResearchGate.

How does limestone transform into talc? Talc comes from the metamorphic alteration of mafic silicate minerals of igneous and metamorphic origin such as serpentine, olivine, pyroxene, and amphibole. Limestone's mineralogy and mode of origin is quite different, needless to say.

great content and super legit presenter, phd/professor skillset

Hmmm... that spans the Ediacaran period including sedimentary deposits during that time, apparently. But haven't heard of anyone looking for Ediacaran fauna in this area.

Like.

Why is valley not full of water!!!
