The Quimper Geological Society will host Marcia Bjornerud at its next meeting at 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10.
Developing and calibrating the geologic timescale — reconstructing Earth’s past from the raw rock record — is one of humanity’s greatest, but least appreciated, intellectual achievements. Bjornerud, a professor of geosciences at Lawrence University, is the author of “TIMEFULNESS: How thinking like a geologist can help save the world.” She will present how environmental wrongs, social conflicts, and existential malaise are all rooted in a distorted sense of humanity’s place in the history of the natural world.
