February 20th
Public Lecture: "Origins and Environmental Impacts of Supervolcanoes" by Clive R. Neal, Professor of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana
Colusa Hall Room 100A
Starts at 7:00 p.m.
This presentation is free and open to the public.

Neal’s lecture, titled “Origins and Environmental Impacts of Supervolcanoes,” will examine how large volcanic plumes form in the earth and the environmental impacts of these massive eruptions. Supervolcanoes erupt large volumes of lava in a relatively short time period (3-5 million years) and can build enormous volcanoes on land and on the seafloor. These volcanoes can approach the size of Western Europe or Greenland, and their eruptions can have large environmental implications. Neal’s work and his lecture focus on the Ontong Java Plateau, located in the Solomon Islands, northeast of Australia. He will speak about his research cruise experiences and fieldwork in the area.

Presented by The Institute for Sustainable Development, The Rawlins Endowed Professorship for Environmental Literacy and Gatweay Science Museum
