GEOL50010 School of Geological Sciences Research Seminar Series I

Academic Year 2018/2019

This module consists of research seminars held weekly in the School of Geological Sciences over both semesters. 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.
