The Earth is a restless planet. Volcanoes explode, continents drift, oceans rise and fall, and the ground beneath our feet can shake without warning. For most of human history, these forces felt like the wrath of gods or random chaos. Today, we understand them as dynamic processes that have shaped the story of humanity, from where our civilizations developed to the migrations driven by famine and plague.

Taught by esteemed Professor Michael E. Wysession at Washington University in St. Louis, these 24 captivating lectures reveal the inseparable links between geologic phenomena and human affairs.
Today, thanks to advancements in the science of geology coupled with history, anthropology, and archaeology, we can take a fresh look at some of the most riveting natural events ever recorded: volcanoes, earthquakes, climate shifts, and other catastrophes that have captured imaginations and changed the course of human history.
In addition to unraveling the science of geologic events, Professor Wysession makes dazzling connections between these events and the human impact, from famines and pandemics to mass migrations and the rise and fall of civilizations. Packed with scientific insights and vivid storytelling, this course offers a grand tour of humanity's story on our dynamic planet.
