Geology
for the Record
Utah's glacial Lake Bonneville left behind signatures of its Pleistocene existence — relics containing valuable information about the area's changing climate over the past 28,000 years. But that information could be lost to urban growth and the need for resources unless people understand their geologic value. Marjorie A. Chan, et al. |

Desert Also Needs Healing

desert is protected by a delicate layer of gravel pieces, sorted and placed
over time by wind. With the recent war in Iraq, military vehicles and digging
destroyed this layer; but the military can take measures to begin to heal it.
