TUESDAY, MAY 17, 2022

How did a 1980 volcanic eruption change our understanding of geology? What impact did this event have on the age assignments of sediments? Join us for episode 23 of The Creation Podcast to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Host Ivana Semidey and ICR geologist Dr. Tim Clarey discuss the surprising discoveries made from observing the eruption, and how this volcano confirmed the feasibility of catastrophic geology and provided compelling evidence of rapid deposition.
