About Event

On July 24 (Thursday) at 20:00, join us for a fascinating lecture titled "Great Catastrophes in Earth History" by paleontologist Yaroslav Popov. Discover the monumental events that shaped our planet, including the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, the Toba eruption that nearly led to humanity's extinction, and the collision with the protoplanet Theia that created the Moon. Explore the global cooling events that transformed Earth into an icy sphere and learn about the incredible catastrophes that our planet has witnessed. What can paleontologists and geologists uncover about ancient disasters? What connections exist between the Permian and Triassic extinctions? Can supervolcanoes plunge the planet back into a "dark age"? How many times has humanity stood at the brink, and what awaits us in the future? This session will take you deep into the past to understand that disasters are not exceptions but the driving force of Earth’s history.
