Everything you want to know about asbestos...

will be explained in a lecture on Wednesday, 19 January 2011, at 7 pm:

Dr. Mickey Gunter
Professor of Geology
University of Idaho

"My Mineralogical and Geological Lessons
Learned From a Decade of Asbestos Issues
in Libby, Montana"

Spokane Community College
Lair-Student Center Auditorium

Mickey has spent more than a decade researching the geology and asbestos mineralogy of the vermiculite deposits near Libby, Montana.  This presentation will focus on the results of that research, and address the ongoing health issues in the community.

Side note:  Mickey and I were both undergraduates in the geology program at Southern Illinois University together, from 1975 to 1979.  He went on to study crystallography with Don Bloss at Virginia Polytechnic, while I focused on fluvial geomorphology with Stan Schumm at Colorado State University.
