Fall 2026 Earth and Environmental Science Speaker Series

This years speaker series has attracted an excellent list of invited speakers to attend our university during club hours throughout the semester between 2:30 to 3:45 PM to showcase the work they are doing within the broad and interdisciplinary field of earth and environmental sciences. Many of the talks focus on the intersection between the science they conduct, its interactions with other fields, and how that work can impact society in unique and novel ways. Additionally, these talks share opportunities open to undergraduate students, how to become the aspiring professional you aim to be, and ways to apply knowledge. These fantastic speakers will share their work with our student body, challenge worldviews, and better understand the world around you.
