Through Appreciating Earth I foster environmental awareness, scientific knowledge, & planetary appreciation. We all consciously & unconsciously change the environment, Earth education helps us understand how we impact our planet. Join me to Appreciate Earth! Awareness is a prelude to respect, projected into the world as appreciation |

What was Gondwana? Gondwana was a huge megacontinent that formed as smaller landmasses squeezed together, long before life inhabited the lands of Earth. If you were to visit the once megacontinent you could walk from South America across Antarctica and Africa to the east coast of Australia, without encountering an ocean. None of our familiar continents existed in their current forms when the first dinosaurs walked on Earth, first Pangaea then Gondwana had to tear into pieces to form the continents of our human world... | | |

Earth has been repeatedly rocked by natural disasters, and some of these catastrophic events have changed the course of human history. Earth Scientists have developed a record of disastrous events going back thousands of years, to help us understand the causes of these disasters and to learn to predict future events. Natural disasters arise from the interactions between tectonic plates, space objects, meteorological extremes, and climactic cycles, and every location on Earth is susceptible to natural disasters. This class will investigate events in human history, focusing on how modern innovations have either made disasters worse or less severe. Learn where natural disasters occur, how to prepare for future events, and how human civilization has responded to catastrophic events. {OLLI is a learning community for adults age 50+ years old that offers class without homework or tests...registration will open in January 2024!} |
