Earth Days
In 2011, I made a presentation to the Friday-afternoon LIFE (Learning is For Everyone) get-together. Subject was "Destined to Study Earth - the Making of a Geologist in Wisconsin."
The PowerPoint (modified 2015) can be viewed online here (new window).
I just modified the PowerPoint and saved it as a PDF file for easier access. View it here (new window)
