Earth and Space Sciences Colloquia

General Speaker Information

Colloquia are scheduled weekly on Thursdays, and run from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with a few minutes left at the end for questions. The audience is typically very broad, reflecting the department itself, with students and faculty from many disciplines including geologists, cosmochemists, geochemists, seismologists, mineral physicists, geodynamicists, space physicists, paleontologists, etc.
