The Department has a programme of research seminars during term time. These are informal accounts of research in progress, cover a wide range of topics in the Earth Sciences and are intended to stimulate discussion. All seminars are open to all interested parties, from both within and outwith the university.

Seminars are usually held from 12:00 - 13:00 on Tuesdays in Room 118 Meston Building (first floor). If a seminar is to be held in an alternative location or at an alternative time, the details will be listed with the relevant talk title.

Occasionally extraordinary research seminars, details of which are not listed on the website but disseminated via email, are held in the department. If you would like to be notified of these seminars, please click here.

All offers of talks will be gratefully received. For further information please contact (Sept-Dec 2010) or (Jan-June 2011).
