Shukla Endowed Fellowship and the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies (COLA), invite you to join us for the 6th annual Earth System Observations & Modeling (ESOM) Graduate Symposium on Friday, April 11, 2025. Returning for its sixth year, the ESOM Graduate Symposium encourages graduate students from George Mason and other institutions to share their research focused on observational and modeling topics related to Earth's climate.   Any research related to Earth's climate is welcome!

This one-day event will include multiple sessions from attendees in the form of 15-minute oral presentations, poster presentations, two keynote speaker presentations, and a career panel for masters and doctoral students to meet professors and scientists from universities and federal labs across the nation. We are pleased to welcome Dr. Randal D. Koster of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, with an additional keynote speaker to be announced! Stay tuned for more information, as well as announcement of this year's career panelists!
