Stories from the Denali Fault

The Denali fault has given rise to the most spectacular mountain belt in North America: the Alaska Range. This talk will follow Sean’s journey exploring the 2000 km long structure and using a range of scientific techniques to unravel the complex history of the Denali fault. Several Denali Fault topics will be touched on, including the processes that led to its formation, how and why it developed its curved shape, mantle Helium in springs along the Denali fault, as well as other amusing stories, tales, and exaggerations.
