Dr. Gerke's White Sands National Park Talk was as interesting, educational, and entertaining as I've come to expect and appreciate. In this talk, we learned the geology of not only the park, but the entire regional area in south central New Mexico. I enjoyed learning about the different types of sand dune formations, as well as the vast amount of gypsum that is a major land mass component in White Sands. As always, Dr. Gerke shows landscape and native animal species photos, including extinct species whose fossils are abundant in the park. Early human footprints tell a story of human inhabitation and migration in and through White Sands National Park.
