<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Several decades ago, local authors Hank and Chickie Stommel wrote a book about “the year there was no summer”, 1816, the year after the eruption of Mount Tambura in the then-named Dutch East Indies. That was the year there was snow in New England in every single month.</span></p><p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br></span></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">A few years ago, internationally famous author Simon Winchester wrote about the explosion of Krakatoa in Indonesia in 1883, which caused a tsunami, killing 40,000 people, and also resulted in world-wide brilliant orange sunsets and low temperatures.</span></p><p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br></span></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">On Monday, October 4, at 12:30 at the Woods Hole Public Library,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Woods Hole resident Dr. Seymour Cohen will relate these events and other eruptions including the most recent volcanic activity in Iceland, to recent findings in one of the newest fields of geology, plate tectonics. <br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br></span></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The lecture is free and open to the public and will be held in the lower level of the Library which is fully handicapped accessible.
