• Poznámky

  «u»«b»Dr. Ivo Lucchitta«/u»«/b» earned his BSc in Geology at Caltech and his PhD at The Pennsylvania State University with a dissertation on the geologic history of the Colorado River and Grand Canyon. Lucchitta first came to Flagstaff in 1962 when he was Assistant to Bill Breed, the Curator of Geology at MNA. He has lived permanently in Flagstaff since 1966, when he obtained a position as Research Geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. He continued in that position until retirement, upon which he became Scientist Emeritus and a Research Associate at MNA. The first several years involved work on the Apollo program of manned lunar exploration. Later, Lucchitta turned his attention again to terrestrial subjects. These included geologic mapping of a large area near the western edge of the Colorado Plateau, in part to determine whether there were any useful applications of ERTS (an early version of Landsat) to terrestrial geologic studies. This was followed by studies in the remarkable Highly Extended Terranes of western Arizona, mapping along the western edge of the Colorado Plateau, studies of ancient lavas in the Grand Canyon, and studies and mapping of Quaternary deposits within the Grand Canyon. Miscellaneous efforts have included research on Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea, and mapping in Yellowstone National Park.
