DESCRIPTION:Presenters: \n- John E. Ebel\, Professor and Senior Research Sc
 ientist\, Weston Observatory\n- Patrick H. Byrne\, Professor\, Philosophy 
 Department \n- Nawa Dahal\, Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Weston Observat
 ory \n\nSeismology is a global science\, and the Jesuits and Jesuit univer
 sities have been involved in operating seismic stations and conducting ear
 thquake studies in many parts of the world. Why would an order of priests 
 like the Jesuits be so interested in seismology and scientific discovery? 
 Join us for a session that will also explain how natural disasters particu
 larly affect the world's most vulnerable communities. One of the presenter
 s of this session is from Nepal\, and his family was strongly affected by 
 the earthquake that devastated his country in 2015. \n\nA light lunch will
  be provided. This session is sponsored by the Department of Earth and Env
 ironmental Sciences\, Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences.
