Geosciences seminars
The Department maintains an outstanding seminar program with invited speakers of international stature, which enables our graduate students to interact with leaders and innovators in their fields. DGSE seminars are open to the local and University geoscience community eager to learn about the latest topics in geological science and engineering research.
Fall 2023 seminar schedule
All seminars are on Monday at 4 p.m. and will be conducted in-person in OB 204. Flyers with titles and abstracts are typically distributed about one week before the talk. Please email the Department to be added to the announcement distribution list. Contact Paula Noble for questions.
