Most have heard of the city of Pompeii and how it was buried under ash from an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but have you heard of its sister city, Herculaneum, or that there were survivors from Pompeii? Why is Mount Vesuvius where it is? What is its relationship to Italy’s Campi Flegrer super volcano? What is the likelihood of Mount Vesuvius erupting again? Join us as Tammie Gerke, Ph.D. in Geology, discusses the formation of this volcano and its impacts on previous peoples and possible impacts to residents of Naples and the region in the future. She will also share her experience and photos of her trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum, and up the slopes to the crater of Mt. Vesuvius.

Many have heard of Krakatoa but may not know that during the 1800s eruption, approximately two-thirds of the volcano located above water disappeared almost instantly. What about the earthquakes leading up to and during the eruption, the tsunamis generated as a result of the eruption, its impact on the spice industry, or even how this volcano formed? Tammie Gerke Ph.D. in Geology, will provide a presentation on the volcano and its formation, which will be followed by a discussion of the book “Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded” by Simon Winchester. This book is based on personal diary entries of people living in the region leading up to, during, and after the eruption. Learn what it must be like to be impacted by such an eruption from people who lived through it. Please note that you do not need to read the book to attend. If you want to borrow a copy to read, please contact the Gardner Harvey Library staff, and they can assist you with this.
