How Catskills Geology Shapes its Floods Talk April 26

ARKVILLE — “How Catskills Geology Shapes its Floods”—an illustrated talk by authors Robert and Johanna Titus and Diane Galusha—will be held at the Catskill Water Discovery Center, 669 County Highway 38, Arkville on Saturday, April 26 at 1 p.m. Admission is free.

Historian Diane Galusha will describe the recurring impacts through history of floods on the Village of Margaretville. Geologists Bob and Johanna Titus will explain why the region’s geology makes this community, and so many others throughout the Catskills, especially vulnerable to such disasters.  

This event is part of the WDC’s “The River Speaks Every Day” series, made possible by a Public Education Grant from the Catskill Watershed Corp., in cooperation with the NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection.

Galusha, the author of several books of regional and local history, is President of the Historical Society of the Town of Middletown. She was recently named Town Historian.

The Tituses are authors of “The Catskills: A Geologic Guide,” and “The Ice Age in the Catskills,” among other books.
