How Geological Events Shaped Our Blue Ridge

With engaging visuals—and, she promises, only one fancy geological word—Kate Humphrey Chambers will present the deep history of our region and how it came to be as we know it.

Kate holds advanced degrees from the University of Minnesota,  the University of Tulsa, and the University Alaska. Her career as a technical leader in the oil & gas industry led her to safely drill & produce wells around the world, particularly Alaska, Gulf of Mexico, Azerbaijan and  the Middle East.

Following her presentation in the Visitor Center classroom, there will be an opportunity to go outside and visit some unusual geological features to be found at The Quarry Gardens
