GYPSUM Seminar Series Fall 2022
The GeodesY and geoPhysics Seminar of the Upper Midwest (GYPSUM) virtual seminar series is meant to connect researchers from midwestern institutions and showcase their research. Subject matter can include: seismology, geodesy, geodynamic/numerical modeling, electomagnetic/magnetotelluric methods, and tectonics (including petrology, geochemistry, and structural studies with implications for geophysical studies).
Fall 2023 will consist of 7 50 minute virtual blocks that will take place on Tuesdays from 2:00-3:00 ET between October and November.
If you'd like to present some of your research or know someone who would be interested, please email jdelph@purdue.edu. Presentations by faculty, postdocs, and graduate-level students on near-submission or recently published projects are welcome.
We send email reminders about each seminar (1 email per week). To subscribe to the listserve, go to this page: https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/gypsum
