Playing Mother Nature: Modeling Extreme Earth Phenomena at Your Fingertips
Presented by School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences - Georgia Institute of Technology
Did you ever wish you could play the role of “Mother Nature” and alter the Earth system? The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech is excited to host “Playing Mother Nature: Modeling Extreme Earth Phenomena at Your Fingertips!” We invite Earth science enthusiasts (young and old) to join us to explode a volcano, create weather and earthquakes, alter the Earth’s land and explore rocks and minerals.
The classroom where the event will occur will be L1125 in the Ford ES&T Building. The "L1" floor is one floor below the first floor when participants walk in the main door by the ES&T atrium. We will post signs or have a volunteer help guide you to the classroom.

COVID Considerations
Georgia Tech encourages anyone attending public events to wear a well-fitting face covering (preferably a N95/K95 mask or a surgical mask with a cloth mask over it, for example), to choose social activities that emphasize risk-reduction practices, and for the campus community to participate regularly in campus asymptomatic surveillance testing. Georgia Tech follows the protocols of the University System of Georgia. Full details can be found here, where you'll scroll down to the "Campus Guidelines" section.
As with all ASF events, we ask you to take care of yourself and your community. Stay home if you feel ill, get vaccinated and mask up when in close proximity to others!
