Bay Area Science Events

Bruce Rogers will give you a scientist and explorer’s insight into selected caves of the Greater San Francisco Bay Region. The region is not noted for its abundance of known stygian sites, but they aren’t absent. Some  you can visit and some you’ll likely never see for yourself, given the restricted access. They’ll include a quick look into the multitude of sea caves (some of national importance); tafoni shelters (a few with fascinating cultural and natural history); unusual caves comparable to only a few other locations world-wide; and even a scattering of small limestone caves and their unique inhabitants.

Discussion will also touch on cultural and architectural sites resembling natural caves.
