PLANET EARTH SERIES

 

Lots of groups have a great interest in geology, but the main interest is in the Planet Earth rather than Planetary Geology. Thus, I am offering the following list of potential topics derived from my teaching and/or research interests. All are ready to go with little extra effort on my part. As I give or schedule these talks, I'll list the venue under the title. Anyone interested?
