Catastrophic Volcanic Eruptions Through History - RIT (Zoom)

Spring (4-8 hours) | Available (Membership Required)

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?
