About the ESSIC Seminar Series

As a way to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, ESSIC has developed an innovative lunch-time Seminar series, held on Mondays during the calendar school-year. These seminars are held from 2:00-3:00 PM either remotely or in room 4102 of the ESSIC suite at the University of Maryland Discovery District research park. 

 

ESSIC seminars cover a broad range of earth science studies and are known for bringing unique interdisciplinary views to the science community and the public. Past speakers include leaders from NOAA/NASA, field researchers, National Academies fellows, and Nobel Prize winners. The seminar event is broadcast to over 1,000 email recipients across the world including UMD, NOAA/NCEP/NESDIS, NASA GSFC, PNNL JGCRI, etc.

 

For questions about the ESSIC Seminar Series, please see the ESSIC Seminar Resources and Procedures information or contact the seminar coordinator Dr. John Xun Yang at jxyang@umd.edu.
