Ron Blakey taught geology for over 37 years at the university level, mostly at NAU in Flagstaff, AZ. His specialty is the sedimentary rocks of the Colorado Plateau and surrounding areas including the Pacific Coast region. He has published well over 50 papers, many as single author, in national and international journals and symposia and two books, one published by Springer (see below). For the last 25 years, he has constructed paleogeographic maps from regional to global scale - these maps appear in many published geological papers, books, monographs, museums, and are used extensively in general education at all levels. His maps are based on the geological literature and are constructed as accurately as possible to mimic satellite views of ancient Earth. Many individual maps represent 40 - 80 or more hours of work each.
