Julie Rathbun & Tyler Nordgren, of University of Redlands, Give a talk for the Physics Dept. Fall Seminar SeriesContributed by Jill Ackerman on 11/30/14 Please join us for a talk entitled: Astro-geology from Io to Old Faithful We live in a golden age of solar system exploration. Our robotic spacecraft reveal planets and moons more geologically active and unusual than previously thought. Current and proposed missions are furthering our understanding of volcanoes, seas, geysers, and tides. Many of these phenomena have terrestrial analogs in America's national parks where visitors are routinely amazed at the view of the stars visible from these dark-sky locations. By tapping into already popular ranger programs we have a golden opportunity to highlight planetary discovery to a public primed to learn more about our universe, both on the ground and in the sky above. Tues., Dec 2, CNS 206B @ 12:10 p.m. Pizza and Refreshments will be available for $1. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact the Department Assistant at jackerman@ithaca.edu. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. |
