As we grapple with the environmental crises gripping Earth today, we can look to the deep geologic history of this planet to learn how Earth regained stability during past periods of upheaval. Join local science journalist Laura Poppick for a presentation about the ancient stories we can read in Earth's geologic record, and the wisdom that those stories hold for our future. She will discuss her debut book, Strata: Stories from Deep Time, which delves into four transformative moments of change in deep time that made our lives here possible today.
