The Southeastern Colorado Renewable Energy Society presents this live Webinar featuring speaker Kirk Johnson in real time from the CRES meeting in Golden, CO. Johnson is the vice president and chief curator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. He is best known for his research on fossil plants, which is widely accepted as some of the most convincing support for the theory that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Since 1997, he has supervised the Denver Basin Project, a multidisciplinary NSF-funded effort to understand and interpret the paleontology, geology and hydrology of the rocks beneath Denver. This work led to the discovery and analysis of a 64 million-year-old tropical rainforest in Colorado. His research also has taken him to Alaska's Bering Sea, the Brazilian Amazon, the Canadian High Arctic, the rainforests of New Zealand, the Gobi desert, India, China, Patagonia and the American West. He currently is working on research projects in Patagonia, Manchuria, Wyoming and Denver, and is involved in the initial stages of designing a new Hall of the Earth at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
