Breakfast with O’Keeffe Online: The Geologic Story of Abiquiu

Join New Mexico geologist Kirt Kempter for a virtual tour of the Abiquiu region, which encompasses some of the most spectacular and diverse geology in the state of New Mexico. A triple junction of geologic provinces, including the Colorado Plateau, the Rio Grande Rift, and the Jemez Volcanic Field, coincide to tell a fascinating story of landscape evolution in constant change.  The talk will include the maps, field photos, and Google Earth flyovers to help highlight the major geologic features, including Cerro Pedernal, the lava-capped butte depicted in many Georgia O’Keeffe artworks.
