Geophysics Seminars

Seminars are generally held in ES 2093 (22 Ursula Franklin Street) at 4:10 pm on Tuesdays, but for the school year of 2021-2022, all seminars will be held virtually unless otherwise noted.
If possible for the speaker, beers at the Faculty Club after the talk are arranged. A short abstract for the forthcoming talk will be circulated ahead of time. Each seminar is 45-50 minutes, with 5 to 10 minutes for questions.
