Please join the Earth Sciences and Science Education Department for the 2011 Jack Mack Lecture on Thursday, April 28, at 3:05 p.m. Tracy Gregg will deliver this year’s keynote address, "Volcanism in Extreme Environments." The talk will be held in the Bulger Communication Center North and refreshments will be served after the presentation in the Bulger lobby.

Gregg will explore volcanism in extreme environments–on Earth and in the solar system–and discuss how the different environments impact volcanic behavior. Gregg is an associate professor of geology at the University at Buffalo. Her research includes planetary volcanology (particularly on Mars and the moon), mid-ocean ridge volcanism and lava flows anywhere in the solar system, including the East Pacific Rise, Juan de Fuca Ridge, Hawaii, Iceland, Mars, Io, and Venus. She has published widely, including her most recent work Environmental Effects on Volcanic Eruptions: From Deep Oceans to Deep Space, and Volcanic Worlds: Volcanism in the Solar System.

The Jack Mack Lecture Series is sponsored by the Earth Science and Science Education Department, and is free and open to the public.
