A Trip to the Headlands with Doris Sloan, Rock Star
produced by Rick Bacigalupi, with production assistance from Daniel Okamura
Take a trip to the world-famous Marin Headlands, and back in time a few many million years, with Doris Sloan, the geologist who wrote the book on Bay Area geology and has taught thousands about the rocks beneath our feet.
Sloan tells us about the remarkable rocks of the headlands, from radiolarian chert made of the remains of millions of ocean plankton to "pillow" basalts leftover from long-ago undersea lava flows.
Rick Bacigalupi is the principal of BACIPIX, a video production entity composed of Rick and a handful of talented associates with more than 20 years of broadcast television experience. Taking advantage of the amazing capabilities of today’s nonlinear editing and affordable gear, we excel in creating high-quality, low-cost video that leaves audiences motivated and inspired.
