Take a look at some of the major seismic and volcanic events of the last few thousand years and help separate fear-filled hype from science-based facts. We’ll look at the causes of earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis and how tectonic movement changes our globe across time and explore cutting-edge technology that’s being used to predict when and where the next event might occur. 

 
ABOUT BILL: Dr. Bill Thierfelder is a retired professor of Arts and Humanities, with a PhD in English Literature, an MA in Theology, and a BA in English with additional concentrations in music history and art. After teaching Second Grade for four years and High School seniors for six months as a replacement substitute, Bill spent the next 32 years teaching a variety of Arts and Humanities courses at several New York and Long Island universities and colleges, including St. John's University, Hofstra University, and Dowling College. He is currently docent emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History where he continues to give both Zoom and in-person presentations, work on special editing projects, and give tours. He also lectures regularly for libraries and educational organizations nationwide via Zoom. Bill's classroom, library, and Museum vocations have taught him that life is all about “making wings," hence, the name of his website: Making Wings. Indeed, Bill's philosophy--rooted in years of practical study and life experience--is simple: The most important thing you can do is to make wings for yourself and fly to places that fulfill your potential, that allow you to develop your unique gifts, and that open you up to a world of possibilities.
