The Ancient Link Between Siberia & the Rockies with Geologist Jim Sears

Join us on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at the Xplorer Maps Headquarters for an evening that brings science, exploration, and storytelling together. Jim will share insights from his decades-long research into the deep-time connection between the Rocky Mountains and Siberia—an idea he explored in the field through three remarkable river-rafting expeditions alongside his son and a team of Russian geologists. He’s now writing a book about those journeys, and this talk offers a behind-the-scenes look at the adventure, challenges, and discoveries along the way.
