Join Dr Lis Gallant, an Assistant Professor in the Geology Department at UH Hilo, for a lecture and Q+A session on the basics of volcanology at VAC Niaulani Campus (19-4074 Old Volcano Road), on January 29th, at 6pm. The Island of Hawaiʻi is one of the greatest natural classrooms on Earth to learn about volcanoes. Each new eruption provides a new set of questions to think about and try to answer! Have you ever wondered what causes a volcano to erupt, why volcanoes have different shapes, or why some eruptions are explosive while others produce only lava flows?

This evening is part of a once-a-month Thursday night series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture, and our environment. The series is intended to inspire, enhance your appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections. This presentation is free, although a donation to the Volcano Art Center is greatly appreciated.
