Making North America, a 3-part NOVA series that originally aired on PBS in November 2015, is a richly illustrated journey through the geological history of the North American continent. UCMP Director of Education and Outreach Lisa White appears in episodes one (Origins) and three (Human) in segments shot in northern California.

Lisa joins paleontologist and Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Kirk Johnson, the series host and narrator, along the San Andreas fault in Tomales Bay and in a gold mine near Placerville, CA to explain the unique geological features in California.

Lisa was recently profiled in Berkeley News and talked about her experience filming the series and her commitment to broadening participation in the geosciences.
