Geologic History of Mount Evans

Presented by Lisa R. Fisher , Geologist

Lisa is a geologist with degrees from the University of Michigan and the Colorado School of Mines, and was a visiting professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Her specialties are in metamorphic and igneous petrology, and her M.S. and Ph.D. studies are focused on the Central Front Range of Colorado. She is a co-founder of the new PC2=PreCambrian Colorado Initiative, a group promoting new research in our area, which will offer symposia, field trips, and other information to both scientists and the general public.  Lisa has several active geological research projects in Colorado and the Rockies.

A long time Evergreen resident, she moved to Evergreen in 1982 and lived on Squaw Mountain for 20 years, and then on Bear Mountain. In addition to studying the geology of the area, Lisa made a study of the alpine wildflowers on Mt. Evans, and hopes to continue that study next summer.

Lisa and her husband Thom Fisher, also a geologist, own Escalante Resources Group, a minerals and energy company based in Denver. In addition to their geologic activities, they have been active in science education on several levels, K-12, adult, and university.

Join us as we look at the rocks in the Golden-Evergreen-Conifer-Bailey area, including Mt. Evans, in more detail, describing and linking the present day metamorphic and granitic rocks we see in the field to the processes that formed them.  There will be opportunities to ask questions after the session.
