The Late Cretaceous Dinosaurian World of Aniakchak National Monument, southwestern Alaska, USA

Anthony R. Fiorillo, Ph.D. | Executive Director - New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science

Aula Ghigi - via Francesco Selmi, 3 - Bologna

At almost 2500 square kilometers, Aniakchak National Monument in southwestern Alaska is arguably the least visited national park unit in the United States with an average of about 100 visitors a year.  It may surprise some that it was in this very remote park that is only accessible by small plane or boat; the first dinosaur record in a national park unit in Alaska was first found in 2001.  New field work has shown the coastal cliffs of Aniakchak National Monument to be one of the most remarkable places on Earth to study dinosaurs, and their environments.

La conferenza si svolgerà in lingua inglese. Ingresso libero fino ad esaurimento posti.
