GEOL50210 Earth Sciences Seminars II

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module consists of research seminars held weekly in the School of Earth Sciences over the course of one trimester. Seminars are normally given by external (frequently international) speakers, selected by the School's academic staff. The series covers a wide range of scientific topics, occasionally tailored to meet the needs of specific research groups and themes within the School, but are typically of interest to all members of the School.
