401/501 Colloquium Series
Spring 2012 Schedule of Talks
This weekly colloquium series is a long-standing tradition in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and is held in both Fall and Spring semesters. The talks present the results of current research by top geoscientists from around the world (including New Mexico).
Talks are always free and open to the public, and are held on Friday afternoons at 2:00 PM in Northrop Hall, Room 122 (the large Lecture Hall at the east end of the building). Refreshments are usually available before the talks beginning at around 1:45 PM.
