Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Lori Dengler, Emeritus Professor, Dept. of Geology, Cal-Poly Humboldt: Iceland is home to the thickest oceanic crust anywhere on the planet. A new period of volcanic activity began in 2021 and nearly continuous eruptive activity has greeted visitors to the most populated part of the Island in 2024. This talk traces Iceland’s origins and the dance between geologic processes and human ingenuity, to live with and harness Iceland’s volcanic powers.
Lori Dengler is an emeritus professor of geology at Cal Poly Humboldt and an expert in tsunami and earthquake hazards. Since retiring in 2015, she continues to work on earthquake and tsunami preparedness efforts on the North Coast through the Redwood Coast Tsunami Work Group, and nationally as a member of NOAA’s Tsunami Science Technical Advisory Panel. She writes the weekly “Not My Fault” column in the Times-Standard.
