WRITTEN IN STONE
The core concept of this project is to unite city
dwellers with their urban landscapes in a project being called Written In Stone.
The overwhelming majority of people live in cities and drive uphill, downslope,
and along valleys with no understanding, or even recognition, of their 3-D
landscape, much less how it developed over geologic time. The energy that drives
Earth processes shapes the land, and thus our society. During brief bursts of
energy, these same Earth processes harm and kill people. We intend to provide
knowledge and insight of the physical environment to students and the public via
television and the internet.
The first 1/2 hour TV show focuses on visualizing the
development of San Diego topography in the last million years.
