SUMMARY:Alphabet Soup: From Alpha to Ö with Marc Daníel Skipstað Volhardt\, University of Iceland
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, Wednesday\, and Thursday \nNovember 18\, 19\, 20\, 2025 \nAfter last year’s successful crash course in Icelandic\, Marc has returned with more linguistic tricks up his sleeve! Take a  three-night journey into the written word. From the ancient Greek alphabet to the elegant letters of Latin\, Cyrillic\, and more\, we’ll uncover how Europe’s writing systems evolved\, why they look the way they do today\, and how they are used across the continent. Along the way\, you’ll learn how to pronounce names and cities\, and spot the hidden histories in everyday words and letters. Designed for curious minds—no language background needed. 6:00 p.m\,- 8:00 p.m.\, A. B. Ceder Room and Microsoft Teams. Members: $30.00\,  Non-Members: $50.00\,  Pre-registration is required. \nRegister online: Alphabet Soup Registration \nA link to Microsoft Teams will accompany your registration. \nAbout Marc: Marc Daníel Skipstað Volhardt\, is a Danish/Icelandic hybrid both linguistically and personally who has lived the first half of his life in Denmark and the second half in Iceland\, and a few other places across the Nordics. Volhardt is a linguist and works for the University of Iceland teaching Icelandic as a second language as well as general and Scandinavian linguistics. Marc has studied abroad at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark as well as the University of Tromsø in Northern Norway. He has done fieldwork on the Otomí language of Central Mexico and has created a written standard for a Western Danish dialect. The most important thing for him is to share his passion for language whether it be in the classroom\, on TV\, in podcasts\, or through adding it to personal Facebook photo posts.

SUMMARY:It's My Fault! Living with Earthquakes
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 25\, 2025 \nOctober is Earthquake Awareness Month! Today our favorite physicist\, Tom Alena along with some international guests\, discuss what it’s like living with earthquakes. \nTom Alena lives about 35 air miles from California’s most notorious fault\, the San Andreas. This is a transform or slip fault in which two plates slide along each other. Remarkable geologic features\, as well as deadly destruction\, have resulted from this motion. In Pinnacles National Park two halves of an ancient volcanic field are separated by 195 miles\, representing over 20 million years of motion. Smaller time intervals are evident in dry creeks that have been displaced. The notorious San Francisco earthquake of 1906 caused destruction that almost destroyed the city. Tom will take you on a virtual field trip through some of the most amazing aspects of this fault zone. \nThe primary tectonic plate associated with Chile is the South American Plate. However\, Chile’s location at the edge of this plate makes it a region of intense tectonic activity. Specifically\, the Nazca Plate is subducting (sliding beneath) the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench\, creating a subduction zone. This ongoing process is responsible for the Andes Mountains\, frequent earthquakes\, and volcanic activity in Chile. Vanessa Fuentes Gandolfi resides in Chile’s capitol\, Santiago. She’ll share some of her experiences. \nIceland is called The Land of Fire and Ice for its immense volcanic activity and numerous glaciers. Where there are volcanoes\, there are tectonic plates. The precursor to every volcanic eruption is a series of hundreds and in some cases thousands of earthquakes of various magnitudes. Jón Baldur Hlíðberg knows a thing or two about this. His entire life has been spent living on The Rift. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge diagonally slices Iceland in half. Experience what life is like on the North American Tectonic Plate and the Eurasian Tectonic Plate. \n3:00 p.m.\, Microsoft Teams\, Members: FREE  Non-Members: $10.00 Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. A link to the presentation will be included with your receipt. \nRegister here: It’s My Fault Registration \n  \n
