SUMMARY:Reefs of Time Book Release with Author Lisa Gardiner
DESCRIPTION:June is National Ocean Month.\n\nDive into insightful 
 conversation with local author Lisa Gardiner who will present on her new 
 book Reefs of Time: What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival. Gardiner 
 weaves together science and stories from fossil reefs on tropical islands 
 and modern reefs underwater. It takes readers on expeditions to learn about 
 coral reefs history. Why? Because the history of reefs—when they thrived 
 and when they floundered—can help us understand coral reefs today and 
 find ways to help them persist into the future. \n\nDoors open at 5 p.m. 
 and books will be available for purchase.\n\nAuthor talk will begin at 5:30 
 p.m..\n\nA book signing will follow the lecture.\n\nDr. Lisa S. Gardiner is

 What Fossils Reveal about Coral Survival\, her latest nonfiction book\, and 
 the award-winning Tales from an Uncertain World: What Other Assorted 
 Disasters Can Teach Us About Climate Change. Her writing about the 
 environment has appeared in bioGraphic\, Scientific American\, Nautilus\, 
 The Atlantic\, and other publications. \n\nTo support Earth and 
 environmental science education\, she has co-authored curriculum\, 
 contributed to museum exhibits and educational websites\, and facilitated 
 teacher workshops. For two decades she worked on projects to help people 
 learn about weather and climate change at the UCAR Center for Science 
 Education in Boulder. \n\nLisa earned a BA in geology and marine science
