Charles H.V. Ebert, Ph.D., SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Geography at the University at Buffalo and a nationally known expert on natural disasters, will discuss "Asteroids: A Menace From Space" at the next UB at Sunrise breakfast lecture, to be held at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 17, in the Center for Tomorrow on the UB North (Amherst) Campus.

Ebert will discuss how a collision between this planet and one of the asteroids that cross its orbit may have been responsible for drastic changes in the evolution of life on Earth.
