Lens on Learning Series
Bringing Speakers on the Natural World To Crooked River Ranch
Lens on Learning Program: Geology of the Canyons by Al Albin
THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR DECEMBER 11
Your registration will carry over to the new date, unless you are unable to attend on the 11th.
Please email suekeeper@gmail.com if you cannot attend on December 11.
Available slots will be offered first to those on the waitlist for the original program.
If space opens up, tickets will be available on EventBrite beginning at 9:00 am on December 8.
For the first in-person program since the pandemic began, FANs is delighted to welcome one of our own to present the December Lens on Learning program at the Juniper Room, Crooked River Ranch. Al Albin and his wife Kathlene are FANs members who have lived at Crooked River Ranch since 2015.
In Central Oregon, we live at the junction of five Geophysical Provinces: Blue Mountains, Columbia River Plateau, Basin and Range, High Lava Plains, and the Cascades. Al will explore the unique character and geologic history of each and help us understand how they relate to and interact with each other.
Al’s work at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument after a stint in the military inspired him to study geology. After attending Central Oregon Community College, he received his Bachelor’s degree in geology from Oregon State University. Al attended Northern Arizona University where he earned his Master’s degree studying the metamorphic and intrusive rock formed in North America 1.7 billion years ago.
Al retired in 2013 after spending his career as an engineering geologist on heavy civil construction projects including dams, water control structures and tunnels for the Bureau of Reclamation and the Department of Agriculture.
Due to Covid restrictions and limitations on occupancy in the Juniper Room, registration for this program will be limited to 35 fully vaccinated FANs members. Masks will be required.
