volcanoes, earthquakes
and the hydrosphere through geodesy



Geophysics Journal Club - Spring 2017

Overview:

This is an informal get-together of faculty and grad students mainly from geophysics to discuss recent papers of broad interest. If there's a particular paper that caught your eye and you want to have a broad discussion on this, send me an email:

Meeting Time / Place:

MSEC 202, Thu 14:00-15:00.
