Course Description
This course is a series of presentations on an advanced topic in the
field of geology by the visiting William Otis Crosby lecturer. The
Crosby lectureship is awarded to a distinguished international
scientist each year to introduce new scientific perspectives to the MIT
community. This year's Crosby lecturer is Prof. Kevin Burke. His
lecture is about African history. The basic theme is the
distinctiveness of the African continent in both the way that it
originated 600 million years ago and in the way that it has developed
ever since.
