Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World
March 19 @ 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Rock Star Lecture Series
Dr. Marcia Bjornerud’s talk explores the profound concept of geological time and its relevance to understanding Earth’s history and future. She emphasizes the importance of adopting a long-term perspective, which she calls “Timefulness,” to better appreciate the planet’s slow yet significant processes. By recognizing the deep interconnections between human activity and Earth’s systems, Bjornerud argues that we can make more informed decisions about sustainability and climate resilience. Her talk encourages audiences to think beyond the immediate and cultivate a sense of stewardship for the planet over millennia.
