Talk: The science of Armageddon

Tuesday, 25th March 2014 @ 18:00 - 19:30 GMT

Free

The Earth has a long and violent history of collisions with extraterrestrial bodies such as asteroids and comets. Massively more destructive than a global nuclear war, this is the hazard that is most likely to precipitate the end of civilisation as we know it, but It is also the only major natural hazard that can be predicted and prevented.

Here, Jay will discuss the nature and extent of the Near Earth Object (NEO) hazard and how it can be dealt with.

Building 207 on University Plan at http://www.liv.ac.uk/files/docs/maps/liverpool-university-campus-map.pdf

Talk starts at 6.30 p.m. with tea and coffee available from 6pm.
