Volcanoes have always given rise to powerful emotions. They simultaneously fascinate and frighten those who live on their slopes when they erupt. Approximately 1.1 billion people live or lived within 100 km of active volcanoes that erupted in the last 10,000 years. Many eruptions, especially explosive ones, might occur without giving a clue of upcoming disaster. Volcanologists still strive to accurately forecast the likelihood, magnitude, and style of eruptions. This presentation offers cases of cohabitation between people and active volcanoes, the related pros and cons, and how modern volcanology offers information to thriving 21st-century societies facing the impact of climate change on a regional to global scale. In-class demonstrations, rocks, and slides will be presented.

Given that medieval people lacked a germ theory to explain the spread of plague and had no effective treatments for it, we may be tempted to see them as helpless victims reduced to waiting for God to claim or spare their lives. In fact, the medieval plague years witnessed the development of many public health measures still in use today. We’ll explore the extensive strategies created to prevent or at least mitigate the damage brought by plague epidemics.

Think you know what happens after the garbage truck leaves your curb? Think again! Join us for an eye-opening journey to uncover the truth about modern landfill operations. The “Dump the Myths Tour” will separate fact from fiction as we explore how today’s modern, engineered landfills protect the environment, recover resources, and manage waste responsibly. Participants will get a behind-the-scenes look at landfill design, daily operations, environmental monitoring systems, and long-term site management. We’ll tackle common myths like “landfills are dumps” and “landfills are just giant holes in the ground,” and reveal the science, technology, and teamwork that make these facilities essential to sustainable waste management.
