Lecture: The Sea Beneath the Jura
Overview
Intro
Guy Della Valle analyses the processes that have shaped the Jura and teaches us how to interpret its landscapes.
What if, to understand the Jura, we had to start by looking beneath our feet?
Why does the Jura feature such unique landscapes? How were its folds and mountains formed? How, in turn, have humans transformed this region?
Throughout his talk, based on the book of the same name published by Éditions Loisirs et Pédagogie, geologist Guy Della Valle takes us on a journey through a history stretching back thousands of years. Combining scientific explanations, field observations and an excursion to the Covatannaz Gorges, he unravels the phenomena that have shaped the Jura and teaches us how to interpret its landscapes.
An invitation to explore the Jura in a different way, by looking up and down at our feet!
