SUMMARY:Sunday Matinee Documentary Series:  Fire of Love from Sandbox Films
DESCRIPTION:Our free winter Sunday matinee documentary series from Sandbox Films continues with Fire of Love. Curiosity is stronger than fear. This film tells the story of two French lovers\, Katia and Maurice Krafft\, who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unraveling the mysteries of our planet\, while simultaneously capturing the most explosive volcano imagery ever recorded. Along the way\, they changed our understanding of the natural world\, and saved tens of thousands of lives. Previously unseen hours of pristine 16-millimeter film and thousands of photographs reveal the birth of modern volcanology through an unlikely lens — the love of its two pioneers. Sandbox Films is an Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird\, messy\, brilliant way of navigating the world. Free hot chocolate. For adults and youth ages 12 and up.

SUMMARY:DINO TRAIL WEEK TALK: Climate Cycles and Volcanic Singularities During the Dawn of the Age of Dinosaurs
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic presentation on climate\, volcanos\, and dinosaurs by Dr. Paul Olsen. The ancient Connecticut Valley rift basin is filled with spectacular\, fossil-bearing alternations of deep and shallow water lake sediments that provide a timeline for the beginning of dinosaur dominance 200 million years ago. A huge volcanic event then set off a cold-hot climate whiplash\, killing off some dinosaurs while others survived and spread globally. The record of the ecological consequences is now exposed along the Connecticut River\, especially at the Great Falls. \nDr. Olsen is Storke Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Columbia University/Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. One of the most prominent paleontologists on dinosaurs\, he has studied the geology and paleontology of our region in depth. Don’t let his credentials scare you! He’s an engaging speaker\, informative and entertaining in equal measure for audiences young and old. \n* Dino Trail Week: \nDino Trail Week is a celebratory week of performances\, films\, talks\, exhibits\, and activities inspired by dinosaur footprints in the Connecticut River Valley. Look for events from all of our partners during Dino Trail Week: Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center\, the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association\, Piti Theatre\, the Beneski Museum\, the Trustees of Reservations\, Springfield Science Museum\, Wistariahurst\, and the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.
