SUMMARY:Strata: Stories from Deep Time
DESCRIPTION:Join us in person at the Camden Public Library for a revelatory journey through four moments in Earth’s deep past\, and their lessons for our future. \nThe epic stories of our planet’s 4.54-billion-year history are written in strata–ages-old remnants of ancient seafloors\, desert dunes\, and riverbeds striping landscapes around the world. In this original debut work\, science writer Laura Poppick decodes strata to lead us on a journey through four global transformations that made our lives on Earth possible: the first accumulations of oxygen in the atmosphere; the deep freezes of “Snowball Earth”; the rise of mud on land and accompanying proliferation of plants; and the dinosaurs’ reign on a hothouse planet.  \nPoppick introduces us to the researchers who have devoted their careers to understanding the events of deep time\, including the world’s leading stegosaur scientist. She travels to sites as various as a Minnesotan iron mine that runs half a mile deep and a corner of the Australian Outback where glacial deposits date from the coldest times on Earth. Ultimately\, she demonstrates that the planet’s oceans\, continents\, atmosphere\, life\, and ice have always conspired to bring stability to Earth\, even if we are only just beginning to understand how these different facets interact. \nLaura Poppick is a science and environmental journalist whose writing has appeared in the New York Times\, Smithsonian\, Scientific American\, Wired\, Audubon\, National Geographic\, Science\, and elsewhere. She has been listed as a finalist for the National Association of Science Writers Science in Society Journalism Award and the Maine Literary Awards Short Works Competition in Nonfiction\, among others. She lives in Portland\, Maine.
