The concept of the series is to create an informal forum for faculty, staff and students to present current ideas in geochemistry. A broad range of topics are covered including high temperature, low temperature, inorganic and organic geochemistry. Talks are usually limited from 30 to 45 minutes. There is 1 hour of credit for those that register and present one talk or abstract all the talks. Regardless of credit, all undergraduates and graduate students interested in the field of geochemistry are encouraged to attend. We meet on Wednesdays at 12:10 p.m. (period 5) in GGS room 200A. Please feel free to bring your lunch.
A tentative list of speakers and topics is listed below. Details will be updated as they become available.
