A "HOT" TOPIC:
Guest speaker and volcanologist R. Stephen Sparks spoke at a luncheon

considered the leading volcanologist in the world.
Sparks, fellow of the Royal Society and
director of the Centre for Environmental and Geophysical Flows a the
University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, lectured on "The Dynamics
of Kimberlite Eruptions."
The lecture, sponsored by the Earth and
