Ice, Rock, and Water: The Sierra Nevada
Ice, Rock, and Water: The Sierra Nevada In the America's with David Yetman
California’s Sierra Nevada is the largest and highest mountain range in the continental United States and, until recently, a geological puzzle. The source of colossal wealth in the form of gold and, now, water, it was a formidable roadblock to the settlement of the state. We visit the range with renowned tectonic specialist Eldridge Moores.
