Reading the Rocks: How Geology Tells the Earth’s Story

Our planet is so old, it’s hard to wrap your head around – let alone fathom how short our lifespans on earth are – when compared with just about anything in the realm of geology. Join for the WHYY & Academy Speaker Series where Maiken Scott explores with geologist and author Marcia Bjornerud how thinking like a geologist can have immeasurable impacts beyond our time.

Schedule of events:
