Webinar: Solar Eclipses, Geology, and the Arc of History: An Iberian Story with Yale's David Evans

David Evans ’92, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Yale, explores the August 12 solar eclipse that will cross northern Spain. Mirroring the Yale Alumni Academy’s 2026 itinerary, he traces the Iberian Peninsula from its primordial geology through antiquity and into the modern era. With a place-centered approach, Evans shows how recorded history and evolving eclipse science illuminate both cultural narratives and the long-term evolution of the Moon’s orbit.
