While Interceptors can stop a vast majority of plastic flowing into oceans from rivers, another significant source we must address is lost fishing gear. The scale of this problem is immense; for instance, lost longline nets alone could stretch 750,000 km, equivalent to a round trip to the moon.

To tackle this, we are conducting extensive research to understand its origins. We have also joined the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI) to actively shape policies and initiatives aimed at solving this critical environmental issue.

This talk explores Sunset Crater, Arizona's youngest volcano, erupted 940 years ago, impacting the Sinagua people. Geologist Dr. Jeffrey Meyer will share its story and his work mapping the unique Bonito lava flow, notable for traveling uphill.

Understanding this flow aids hazard prediction and interpreting past flows on Earth, the Moon, and other planets. Dr. Meyer, a retired geology instructor, became curious about the Bonito flow, leading to detailed mapping via Lidar.

This program is made possible by Arizona Humanities and sponsored by Findlay Subaru of Prescott. Learn more at: Natural History Institute | Events | Donate | Instagram | Facebook

Eric Steinberger, co-founder and CEO of ClimateScience and a former MIT/Facebook researcher, emphasizes innovation in solving climate change. He likens climate solution builders to astronauts in a "moon landing" effort, arguing we often mismeasure progress.

A self-taught prodigy, Steinberger began studying physics and computer science online at 14. By 21, he had published two papers and held research roles at MIT, Facebook AI, and other universities, all without an undergraduate degree.

Recognizing online education's impact, he founded ClimateScience to empower the next generation of climate problem-solvers. This perspective was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at TEDx.
