One of the highlights of this short break is a 4.6-kilometre Deep Time Walk. You will explore the stunning landscape while experiencing an account of 4.6 billion years of Earth’s history.

Viewing climate change through THE LENS OF DEEP GEOLOGICAL TIME is helping scientists in China find novel solutions to the challenge of rapid decarbonization.

Bjornstad: In geologic time. So it’s kind of like it’s easier if you can think back 17 million years ago, it’s easy to think back to the beginning of the earth at 4.5 billion years.

(Colorado Geological Survey maintains 93 springs and wells.) “To get water down into the crust and back up again, you need something to drive it, and that driving force is gravity,” Morgan says.
