New Frontiers in Translational Geoscience is a research conference hosted by the Department of Geological Sciences at CU Boulder. This year, it will be the inaugural conference for what will become a regularly occurring annual event.  

The conference will showcase posters on geoscience research conducted by mainly graduate students at CU Boulder, followed by an optional networking social hour with representatives from geoscience-related agencies, businesses, non-profits, and organizations.

Abstract submissions are welcomed. Although the conference is geared primarily for geoscience graduate students at CU Boulder, postdocs and undergraduate students conducting geoscience research at CU Boulder are also welcome to submit abstracts. Abstract submission will open by September 9, 2024.

Geoscientists and representatives of geoscience-related agencies, businesses, non-profits, and other organizations who are interested in meeting some fraction of the CU Boulder geoscience talent pool are invited to attend.  CU Boulder geoscientists collaborating with presenters and/or seeking to fill a lab/research position are also invited to attend.

The University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado’s flagship university, honors and recognizes the many contributions of Indigenous peoples in our state. CU Boulder acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally. 

This event website will continue to be updated with information about the conference as we get closer to the event date.
