Presented by Dr. Thomas Minckley, University of Wyoming. In 2019, Minkley led the Sesquicentennial Colorado River Exploring Expedition, in part commemorating John Wesley Powell’s journey 150 years previous. The 2019 expedition explored themes of western water over the last century and how we move into the future. He also served as co-editor of 2020's “Vision and Place: John Wesley Powell and Reimagining the Colorado River Basin”. Join us to watch the documentary film produced by the expedition, followed by commentsand a Q & A session.
