"Hiddenscapes: Glaciers and Their Impact on the Iowa Landscape," Kathleen Woida, stage geologist, and Iowa Barbara Haas, ISU English. Through slide show imagery, scientific data, music, and creative writing, Haas and Woida will suggest and evoke the shape and movement of the hiddenscape of Iowa glaciology.

While no one witnessed the extraordinary process that formed our contemporary Iowa landscape, it is possible to piece together parts of the dramatic geological events through examination of bedrock and sub-soil evidence.

Kathleen Woida is a State Geologist for the Natural Resources Conservation Services for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Barbara Haas's short stories have been published in journals such as Glimmer Train, The Antioch Review, Quarterly West, The Georgia Review, Epoch, American Literary Review, Denver Quarterly, Western Humanities Review, The Cimarron Review and others. Her work has appeared multiple times in The Hudson Review, Virginia Quarterly Review and The North American Review. A recipient of a National Endowment Literature fellowship, Barbara Haas is the author of a short story collection, When California Was an Island.
