Science Utah Lecture Series
Clark Planetarium is excited to announce the inaugural lecture of the Science Utah Lecture Series, featuring Dr. James Kirkland, the esteemed State Paleontologist for Utah. This free event will take place on Thursday, July 11 at 7 p.m. in the Northrop Grumman IMAX Theatre.
Dr. Kirkland, a leading authority in paleontology, will delve into his extensive research and groundbreaking discoveries over the past two decades. The highlight of his lecture will focus on new and compelling evidence from the basal Cretaceous of eastern Utah. This data suggests that an asteroid impact may have been responsible for the extinction of Utah's iconic Jurassic Morrison dinosaur fauna.
This event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. We encourage those interested to reserve their seats early. For more information and to reserve your spot, click here.
