Welcome to the Seminar Series in the Department of Geological Sciences!
This is the place to find out who, what, when, and where for our next scheduled seminar. The links will take you to a printable flyer announcing each speaker that can be posted.
If you would like to receive one of these announcements, either by normal postal services or by e-mail, then please let us know. As our seminar series evolves please let us know how we can make it better. In fact, if you know of someone who you think we should invite, then feel free to e-mail or write us.
