Stories the Earth Tells with Dan Gish
Mid-Continent Rift: The Ancient Fracture Beneath the Midwest
Hidden deep beneath the heart of North America lies one of the continent’s most remarkable and little-known geological features: the Mid-Continent Rift. In this session, geologist and geophysicist Dan Gish unpacks the origins of this massive ancient rift and the clues that reveal its existence today.
Dan explores what the Mid-Continent Rift is, how scientists discovered it, and why it matters to states like Iowa and Nebraska, even though it lies far below the surface. The presentation also looks ahead to the emerging economic opportunities tied to this geological structure, shedding light on a new “gold rush” shaping the future of Mid America.
Dan is a geologist and geophysicist with 50+ years of global exploration & research.
