We hope you’ll join us, either in-person OR virtually, today, January 24th, from 3-5 pm, for the opening of our Spring Exhibit in RBML!

RBML, in collaboration with the Geology Department, presents “In Search of Lost Time: The study of Earth history and chronology from the 18th to the 21st century”, on view from January 24-July 22, 2022. The related concepts of time, chronology, and history form the lens through which Earth scientists view, understand, and interpret a dynamic planet. This exhibit will explore how the chronology of the Earth was established, with a focus on six themes that gradually led to the consensus view that the Earth is roughly 4.55 billion years of age.

For those who would like to attend virtually, Professor of Geology and exhibit curator, William Guenthner, presents a virtual guided tour and live Q&A. Register at
