The Risk to Civilization from Extraterrestrial Objects
Last updated: 17 October 2001
This lecture, by Dr. Clark R. Chapman, was presented on December 11, 1998, as the kick- off presentation for the 1998 "Chance Lectures" at Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H.
A complete audio/video presentation of the lecture (complete with separate-screen vu- graphs) can be found at the following URL:
