Earth’s Ledger: Hidden Histories of the Revolutionary War

Soil is more than dirt — it’s a liv­ing record. At this spe­cial event, NASA sci­en­tists Dr. Dorothy Peteet and Dr. Alle­gra LeGrande will share how they read ancient soil lay­ers to trace piv­otal moments in Amer­i­can his­to­ry, includ­ing the Rev­o­lu­tion­ary War. Dis­cov­er how smelt­ing, war­fare, and indus­try leave chem­i­cal fin­ger­prints — and how these clues help us under­stand our past and our planet’s future.

Per­fect for his­to­ry lovers and sci­ence enthu­si­asts alike!
