A talk and visual presentation
Professor Sahagian recently traveled to Tibet to determine when the Tibetan Plateau rose to become the "top of the world.” His travels extended from the Potala Palace in Lhasa to the distant countryside. In this talk he shares his experiences with the people he encountered and the places he visited. This talk will include a visual presentation of Tibet, which Professor Sahagian has called
“a truly unique, yet endangered gem on Earth.”
