Join us for a fascinating presentation by Charles Darwin Dailey exploring the powerful impact meteor craters have had on Earth and the development of life throughout history. From massive impact sites to the geological evidence left behind, this presentation will examine how meteor strikes have shaped landscapes, influenced environmental change, and affected life on our planet.

Discover famous meteor craters from around the world, learn how scientists identify and study impact structures, and gain insight into the role extraterrestrial events have played in Earth’s geological and biological history.
