[AT] Volcanoes in Virginia! - January 24, 2012 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm at Jefferson Lab's CEBAF Center Auditorium
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 -- Volcanoes in Virginia!
The recent earthquake may have you wondering what other surprises Virginia's geology may hold. Could there be a volcanic eruption in Virginia? Probably not today, but during the Eocene, about 35-48 million years ago, a number of mysterious eruptions occurred in western Virginia. This talk investigates the possible origins of these eruptions, and what they can tell us about the crust and mantle underneath Virginia.
Maps to Jefferson Lab's CEBAF Center Auditorium, as well as additional information about the Science Series, can be found on the Science Education web site: http://education.jlab.org/scienceseries/
