Visualizing Geology | A Conversation with Dr. Lee Allison, Director AZGS and State Geologist

In November 14, 2007, Vicki Evans, host of “Government Connection” on Access TV, interviewed Dr. Lee Allison.   Their conversation touched on geologic issues – hazards, groundwater, and mining, among other things – of importance to people living in Arizona.    Maps, photographs, and graphs are sprinkled liberally throughout the interview to help you, the viewer, better visualize geologic concepts.
