Join us on the 46th anniversary of the May 18th, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens as we commemorate the cataclysmic event that transformed our understanding of life in the Pacific Northwest and reshaped volcano science worldwide. USGS Scientist Emerita Carolyn Driedger will share her personal memories of the eruption as a scientist in the field and explore how the event has created ripple effects throughout our society and the world, reshaping everything from emergency planning to public education to volcano science and beyond. Whether you lived through the eruption or are new to the mountain's story, this is an evening of reflection and community you won't want to miss.
About the Venue: We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Heathen Brewing, now in their Salmon Creek location. The team is graciously opening just for us on a day they’re usually closed, so we encourage you to show your thanks by enjoying Heathen's delicious food and drinks during the event!
