Los Angeles has been diverting water from the Mono Basin since 1941, transporting it south through the Los Angeles Aqueduct. For decades, the withdrawals of water from the area's creeks led to dramatic declines in the lake.
I love looking at hillshade models /DEMs and seeing where the Pleistocene glaciers were. I live in Portland, Oregon, and as usual in the Northern Hemisphere, the glacial cirqes are all oriented towards the northeast. Our home is at about 225 feet above sea level, but 16 thousand years ago, the glaciers coming doqn from Mount Hood advanced to about 1,000 feet above sea level. It's hard to imagine what that would have been like.
I wanna get into geology I’m just lost right now though I dropped out at 10th but currently trying to get my ged then taking some community college courses for it
My goodness - been there a few times. Great place. So is Bishop. There is a good bison jerky place right to the north :). Owen's valley - Bishop - good memories. Did you take a dip in the hot springs?
I also have a favorite rock but it's in the middle of a river so I only get to visit it up close during summer. I'm glad to see that someone else has one too, and yours is so cool!
There was a Great Flood not so long ago wich covered the earth miles high to remove the evil and fallen angels... Noah built a great ship that held 2 of every creature...

I just happened upon your channel yesterday and I have to say you're definitely my new favorite! First of all I LOVE seeing a woman Geologist! 2nd I LOVE how you explain things. 3rd I wish I had discovered my love of history and geology in my younger years! I absolutely LOVE this stuff so you've got a new subscriber in me! Thank you for teaching us about the works we live in that we didn't learn about in school!
