Catastrophic Volcanic Eruptions Through History - RIT (Zoom)

Spring (4-8 hours) | Please call 603-646-0154 to register.

Catastrophic volcanic eruptions around the globe have impacted our world through changes in paleoclimate, geography, fauna and flora, and, later, human life. We will study several of these historic volcanoes, their origin and magnitude, and the changes wrought by their eruptions. Can we predict future eruptions?
