“A Geologist Examines the Five Signs on the Day of the Cross” When: Friday, September 08, 2017, 07:00pm Where: 5900 E. Yale Ave, Denver, CO

     Dr. Steve Austin is a field research geologist with a Ph.D. in geology, and is author of three books, three videos, one computer software package, and more than forty technical papers.  His quest to understand sedimentary processes has launched explorations onto six of the world's seven continents, taking him by helicopter into the crater of Mount St. Helens volcano, by bush plane onto glaciers in the high mountains of Alaska, by raft through the entire Grand Canyon, on horseback into the high Sierras, by SCUBA onto the Great Barrier Reef, by canoe into coastal swamps of Australia, by foot to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and by ATV into remote archaeological digs of the Middle East. Lightning, mudflows, avalanches, volcanic eruptions, boiling creeks, quicksand, flash floods, blizzards, crocodiles, and venomous snakes are hazards he has experienced during his quests.
     Geology students know Dr. Austin for his extraordinary field trips and field teaching events, launching 24 raft trips through Grand Canyon.  Dr. Austin’s field research within Grand Canyon includes over 400 nights camped out below the Canyon’s rim. He has mapped large squid fossils within a limestone stratum of Grand Canyon a distance of 200 miles through the canyon to Las Vegas. Dead Sea sediments in Israel and Jordan are revealing the sequence of earthquakes mentioned in the Bible.  Laminated Dead Sea sediment shows earthquake disturbances; the one assignable to 33 AD is likely the earthquake at the crucifixion of Christ.  Working with archaeologists in Israel and Jordan, Dr. Austin believes he has found the lost cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
     Steve will lecture on the topic “A Geologist Examines the Five Signs on the Day of the Cross”.  Join us!
