The entire state lies in the rain-shadow desert formed by the mountain range and receives very little rainfall. The climate is extremely hot and dry. Most of the state only receives an average of four inches (10 cm) of rainfall per year, with more than 250 days of sunshine. Summers are quite hot with temperatures frequently exceeding 100 degrees F (40 C). In the winter months, daytime temperatures are usually a quite comfortable 60 - 70 deg. (15 - 20 C) with chilly nights. Early spring and late autumn are the best times to visit as the days are quite warm and the nights very pleasant. Visit the Grand Canyon! Las Vegas is near one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. The Grand Canyon is only a four-hour drive or a 30-minute air journey from the Las Vegas strip.

Death Valley National Park Weather, Geography, Map, Road Reports Weather Maps DV Reports Setting and maps Death Valley National Park is located on the eastern border of south-central California and includes a small area of Nevada. Running more than 50 miles southwest-to-northeast and more than 150 miles northwest-to-southeast, it is the largest national park in the contiguous U.S. Ecologically, its plants and animals of are representative of the Mojave Desert; geologists consider it to be located in the southeastern Great Basin Desert. Death Valley itself is a large desert trough nearly surrounded by mountains. It is nestled between the Amargosa Range on the east which includes the Black, the Funeral and the Grapevine Mountains and the Panamint Range on the west which includes the Cottonwood Mountains. The Owlshead Mountains rise at the south end of the park and the Sylvania Mountains border the northern end. It contains the lowest point in the western hemisphere 282 feet below sea level near Badwater as well as numerous high-rising mountain peaks, including Telescope Peak at over 11,000 feet. Death Valley was named by gold-seekers, some of whom died crossing the valley during the 1849 California gold rush.

But only one will go to Washington, and she's making her tutor very proud. Sister Elizabeth came to Reno to teach at Little Flower School in 1963. She retired last year after 40 years in the classroom, but she can't stay away. Now she tutors students who want to compete in the Geographic Bee. Little Flower Geography Teacher Sister Elizabeth, said, “I did it almost since it started. It started in 1989 or 1998, and I started in 1989. Because I loved geography and I wanted people to be interested in it.”

SEARCH Department of Geography: Geography of the West - 1997 Field Camp Back to Geography Geography of the West Field Camp Basin and Range, 23 June - 19 July 1997 Geography of the West participants on Nevada's Black Rock Desert playa. The first annual "Geography of the West Field Camp" focused on the Basin and Range physiographic province of western North America. The field camp was led by Geography professor Karl Lillquist and Resource Management graduate student Damon Roberts. The participants included six CWU students and six students from other universities in North America and Hawaii. The objectives of the course were enhance student knowledge of field research methodologies and understanding of the physical, human, and resource geography of the arid West via field tripping and detailed research in a Nevada basin and range. We spent much of the first week field-tripping from Ellensburg to central Nevada. Enroute we explored the physical, human, and resource geography of such varied places as Mount Hood, Camp Creek, Newberry Crater, Fort Rock, Black Rock Desert, Pyramid Lake, Sand Mountain, and Austin, Nevada. Once in central Nevada, we set up a tent-based camp in central Grass Valley where students were introduced to field research and began to work on a variety of research topics. These topics included riparian vegetation, vegetation and soil zonation, geomorphology, wildlife, fire history, land use history, and public vs. private lands issues. In our spare time, we soaked in a nearby hot springs and explored old mining ruins.

It is bordered by Utah (E), Arizona (SE), California (SW, W), and Oregon and Idaho (N). The alkali sinks and great arid stretches clothed with sagebrush and creosote bush typify Nevada's landscape. Its mountain chains generally run north and south, further segmenting the state. On the California border stand the lofty Sierra Nevada [snowy range]. The driest state in the nation, the days and nights are generally clear, and the temperature varies with the altitude as well as with the seasons. The mean elevation is c.5,500 ft (1,676 m). In the north and west the winters reach extreme cold, while in parts of the south the summers approach ovenlike heat. Carson City is the capital; Las Vegas is the largest city, and Reno the second largest. Besides the bustling activity of Reno and Las Vegas, there are many other places of interest to the Nevada visitor. Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. Lake Mead Recreational Area has facilities for fishing, swimming, and boating. Other attractions include Lake Tahoe, on the Nevada-California line, Lehman Caves National Monument, Death Valley National Monument, Great Basin National Park, and restored mining ghost towns like Virginia City.

GROWTH AND COMPETITION: SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION IV. IMPLICATIONS OF CYBERSPACE? V. TEMPORARY CONCLUSIONS ABSTRACT I. INTRODUCTION: BIG AND GETTING BIGGER "Gambling is now bigger than baseball, more powerful than a platoon of Schwarzeneggers, Spielbergs, Madonnas and Oprahs. More Americans went to casinos than to major league ballparks in 1993. Ninety-two million visits!" ( The New York Times Magazine , July 17, 1994) An anthropologist by training (but one who has an interest in "geography" because of travel and research interests), I am fairly certain that human involvement in taking risks goes back to the earliest pre-cursors of Homo sapiens as we were foragers and gatherers going around the planet. Risk-taking continued when "we" took up agriculture ("will the rains come" or "will the crop fail?") and we settled down into relatively permanent, and rapidly-growing, settlements. The gambling, however, that we in this room might do will probably take place at "the Lake" or perhaps at a local Native American Indian Casino. This is the type of gambling that I have been studying for many years.

Physical Geology is the department's entry level course, providing an introduction to the Earth and emphasizing the processes that have formed and continue to affect the surface of the planet, where we live. Environmental Geology covers a broad range of topics involving human interactions with the physical environment. The course emphasizes geologic hazards and hazard mitigation, surface and groundwater resources and their contamination and remediation, and global environmental change and its potential consequences. Structural Geology is a core course for geology majors, providing a working knowledge of the processes and products of geologic deformation, and significant experience in the creation and interpretation of geologic maps and cross sections.
