Geological Feast: A Sampler with Dr. Dave Weinberg
Thursdays, 10:30 – 12:00 PM (90 minutes)
The Oscar at Georgetown, Theater
In Person Only
This great planet we think of as “terra firma” is anything but. It is in constant flux due to geological forces we scarcely understand until they surprise us. This course will address various geology topics including plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, rare earth minerals, subsidence, methane hydrates, and fossils to give a broader understanding of our earthly home.
Dave Weinberg earned his PhD in geology at Texas A&M University and has worked for several major oil companies. In 1995, he did research on various petroleum industry-related projects at DOE’s Idaho National Laboratory. Starting in 2002, Dave spent 14 years in the Department of Homeland Security consulting on issues of energy and infrastructure security. He has taught adult education classes since 2009.
