DESCRIPTION:The presentation will start will a short summary of the semina
 l work of G. I. Taylor and his most famous student\, G. K. Batchelor. Eval
 uations of the propagation of muti-sized granular material under a variety
  of conditions will then be described\, as well as being illustrated with 
 desk top experiments.\n\nThe lecture will then discuss the all important f
 low of viscous gravity currents\, again illustrated by desk top experiment
 s and actual photos and explanations of the recent eruption of the Soufrie
 re of St. Vincent. A description of the development of chemical gardens wi
 ll then be described\, initially experimented upon by Johan Glauber\, said
  to be the first chemical engineer\, and then by Isaac Newton. It is said 
 by some that chemical gardens are the origin of life\, at deep-sea smokers
 \, as will be described.
