The Scenic Geology of Alberta: A Roadside Touring and Hiking Guide, scenic geological wonders seen from roadside pullouts and short hikes.

About this event

The Scenic Geology of Alberta is “a treasury of easy-to-grasp geoscience about Alberta’s best-loved landscapes.” – Ben Gadd, author of Canadian Rockies Geology Road Tours

Join us on this Zoom talk hosted by Shelf Life Books. Dale Leckie will guide you to select scenic sites in and beyond Calgary, telling the story of Alberta’s landscape evolution.

His new book features trips to Edmonton, Calgary, Crowsnest Pass, Elk Island National Park and more, taking you to explore volcanoes and glaciations long past. This guide includes stops along well-travelled and not-so-well-travelled routes that the curious would be wise to seek. Leckie blends storytelling with science, history and art to breathe new life into the geology of the landscape.

DR. DALE LECKIE is an award-winning geologist internationally recognized for his contributions to geology. With degrees in Geology and Geography, he has worked in the Rocky Mountains for much of his career. Dale lives in Calgary.

Dale’s first book Rocks, Ridges, and Rivers: Geological Wonders of Banff, Yoho, and Jasper National Parks (2017) was Finalist in the 2018 High Plains Book Awards and won an Honorable Mention 2018 Best Guidebook (Popular Category) by the Geoscience Information Society.

“The Scenic Geology of Alberta is … a cultural and scientific excursion. Beautifully illustrated and mapped, a companion to hikes and rambles, it will galvanize the imagination, as much a history of Alberta as it is an interpretation of rocks and land formations.” – Aritha van Herk, CM, AOE, FRSC. Writer, editor, critic.

Here is the ZOOM Link for the The Scenic Geology of Alberta Calgary Book Launch tonight at 7 pm MST with host Shelf Life Books and Lori Beattie, author of Calgary's Best Walks.
