New format for Science for ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ kickoff event
The 31st Science for ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ lecture series kicked off Friday, Feb. 3, with a new format and a new venue. Six researchers presented their work in short visual-centered talks in the UAF Pub. The lineup reflected just a sliver of the wide variety of research that goes on at the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Geophysical Institute.
The speakers were:
- Franz Meyer, ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Satellite Facility
- Harper Baldwin, Arctic Coastal Geoscience Lab
- Victor Devaux-Chupin, Snow, Ice and Permafrost Group
- Bill Simpson, Atmospheric Sciences Group
- Revathy Parameswaran, Seismology and Geodesy Group
- Evans Callis, High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP)
A large and enthusiastic crowd showed up. Staff at the door said they handed out more than 100 door-prize tickets. The event was so successful that the GI Public Information Office, which organized the event, is considering repeat events a few times a year.
The lecture series would not be possible without its sponsors, including the Geophysical Institute, ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ EPSCoR, Vic and Vicki Weinstein, the Triplehorn family and Lifewater Engineering Company. Many thanks to all.
The traditional 2023 lecture series runs every Tuesday through March 7. Talks start at 7 p.m. on campus in the Schaible Auditorium and will also be streamed live to as well as via the UAF and Geophysical Institute Facebook pages.
