Description
The geology of the Mediterranean Sea is a mess, but that mess spawned the great classical civilizations. This presentation outlines the Mediterranean’s fascinating geologic origin in layman’s terms. It then deals with how the geology constrained and guided the rise of the classical Greek and Roman worlds that we all read about in school.
Dirk Van Hart has an MS in geology. He worked as a petroleum geologist for 25 years, followed by 25 years of consulting work and contract geology for Sandia National Laboratories.
