Science On Tap 9/9 In VanWA: How To Think Like A Volcano (Photo)
- 08/18/26
Date: Wed Sept 9, 2026
Time: 7 pm
Location: Kiggins Theatre Vancouver, Wa
Tickets: $15-$45
Event Website: scienceontaporwa.org/events/kiggins_sep_9_volcano/
When and how will a volcano erupt in the future? Say…Mount Baker (a very-high-threat volcano in Washington State)?
In this talk, we'll explore:
- What causes magmas to escape the crust and erupt on the surface?
- How long does it take for magma to exit the crust?
- Can we improve our “stopwatches” between the moment volcanic unrest is detected, and the moment we need to respond to an impending eruption?
The Cascade volcanoes in our very own backyard.
Dr. Hannah Shamloo works at Central Washington University as an Assistant Professor where she has taught igneous petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, and science communication for the past 5 years.
Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, drink a pint, and enjoy learning. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don't have to be a science geek to have fun--all you need is a thirst for knowledge! For more information on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.
