Beschreibung:
Gary Griggs is Distinguished Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he has taught for more than fifty years. His research and teaching have focused on natural disasters and the California coast.
"Those who come to California are awestruck and inspired by its vast, diverse, and dynamic wilderness. The power of nature is on full display in the immense beauty and bounty of our home, as well as the natural disasters that have helped shape our communities and history. As a proud Californian, Gary Griggs understands to his core this tension and deftly details how moments of catastrophe have molded our landscapes and the culture of the Golden State. Through earthquakes, floods, mudslides, and wildfires, our resilient state and its people have continued to persevere and rebuild. As stewards of our environment, each of us has a responsibility to learn the lessons of our past failures and successes and carry those stories with us as we work to live in harmony with the land we love."--U.S. Congressman Jimmy Panetta, California District 19
