Bakersfield College Geology Professor Natalie Bursztyn was at the Levan Center on March 1 promoting her second printing of The Geology of Kern County.

Bursztyn is excited with the content of her book and is happy to be sharing it with the community.

“Things are finally expanding, after taking me two years to write,” said Bursztyn.

Bursztyn’s publication includes her own pictures and diagrams of Kern County that emphasize different tectonic actions of various locations around Red Rock Canyon, the Kern River Valley and desolate routes that run through Highway 58 and Boran.

She accentuates her findings of obsidian rocks and Joshua trees that are commonly found throughout Kern County and live within the appropriate climate.

Bursztyn’s goal of this project is to give readers the understanding and the history behind Kern County’s geological system.

The book will be available for checkout during the second week of March at the Grace Van Dyke Bird Library.
