Location:

Speaker: Jesse Reimink, Pennsylvania State University

"The earliest era of geochronology produced data showing an age zonation of continental crust.  This observation, to a first order, suggested that continents may have grown progressively around an old core.  However, this observation does not consider the potential for intra-crustal recycling and reworking, or the removal of continental crust into the...

Colloquium Series: "TESS Exoplanets and Beyond"

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Haller Hall (GM 102)

Speaker: Prof. Sara Seager (Massachussetts Institute of Technology)

Abstract: "NASA’s latest planet-finding mission TESS monitors the brightness of hundreds of thousands of stars per month, searching for drops in brightness that indicates an exoplanet transiting its host star. Computer algorithms detrend the data and flag threshold crossing events, followed by human or computer identification of planet candidates. A...

Colloquium Series: "The causes and consequences of the large uncertainty in near-term sea-level rise"

12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Haller Hall (GM 102)

Speaker: Prof. Jenny Suckale (Standford University)

The Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibits astonishing spatial and temporal variability in ice flow rate and associated mass loss. Rapid ice flow is concentrated in narrow corridors called ice streams that together with outlet glaciers account for the majority of the current mass loss from the ice-sheet interior to the ocean. The response of...
