Earth Sciences Seminars - 2023

Date: Fri, 3 Mar, 3:00 pm - Fri, 27 Oct 2023, 4:00 pm
Location: Mawson Lecture Theatre, Mawson building or via Zoom
Cost: FREE

Seminars are run on Fridays from 3.00pm to 4.00pm, unless otherwise noted.

Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences host regular seminars to facilitate a collaborative approach which applies cutting-edge methods to issues vital to sustaining our way of life on this planet.

Academics and students from collaborative institutions are also invited to share their research and knowledge when visiting our department and school.

The seminars are open to the public, industry, researchers from other departments, schools and universities, and to current and past students.
