Description:
Starting on October 26, the Adult Education Program will begin a 48-lecture series on "How the Earth Works."  Alfred McDonald and Jim Bys will moderate the 30-minute CD program and 20 minute audience participation.
 
Professor Michael E. Wysession is the ideal guide for this expedition. A geophysicist with a specialty in seismology, he has developed techniques for using seismic waves from earthquakes to deduce the three-dimensional structure of the interior of the Earth. Like a scientific Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Wysession uses this approach to "see" into a realm that was previously more mysterious than galaxies billions of light years away.
