Peak Environment: #3 Joy of Environmental and Geologic History

Is your house going to erupt in flames or be buried in a landslide? Who are “boosters” and what have they done for Colorado Springs? And how do we measure environmental impact? Who said geology and history are dull? This episode’s stories about environmental and geologic history in the Pikes Peak Region will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This episode, courtesy of Peak Alliance for a Sustainable Future, features these presentations from the August 15, 2018 Sustainability in Progress program:

1. Environmental History of the Pikes Peak Region: Katherine Sturdevant, Department of History at Pikes Peak Community College
2. Mapping Natural Hazards in Colorado Springs: Eric Billmeyer, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
