You should be able to scroll U/D and L/R to see everything. Yellow highlight dates are open. As we fill slots, this site will stay up to date.

--------------------------------
Process notes from Jo Ann Kvamme (4/27/18):
- Speakers are solicited from the Geosciences Faculty
- one slot each semester is reserved for a speaker sponsored by the GEOS External Advisory Board
- Suggestions for speakers are solicited from the Geosciences Faculty
- Off campus speaker expenses are generally covered by the inviting faculty member
- If a speaker requires Department funds, prior approval from GEOS Chair is required.
- Off campus speaker expenses are generally covered by the inviting faculty member
- Society sponsored speakers (AAPG, AWG, AAG, AGU, etc)
- Expenses are generally mostly covered by the organization with some expenses paid by the department – all department expenses require prior GEOS Chair approval
- Expenses are generally mostly covered by the organization with some expenses paid by the department – all department expenses require prior GEOS Chair approval
- All suggested speakers are considered, prioritized and contacted about participation (in the event the slots for the semester are full I ask if we want to place the speaker on a “potential speaker” for the next semester or can set a date for the next semester).
It is best if we can fill the lectures for the semester the previous semester. I keep a running calendar (now live above) so we can also place suggestion speakers and dates for two semesters out.
Scheduling priority:
- Sponsored speakers are usually locked in first since these must be booked early
- Faculty bringing speakers to campus (we try to accommodate speakers who are visiting – however this is not always possibly depending on the speakers previously booked.)
- Faculty on Campus (we try to have campus faculty (or those not needing a hotel room] on football, BBB weekends since hotels may be hard to find and require multiple night stay)
- We try to insure there is something for everyone in the department with a variety of subject matter
