Outside Lecture Oppurtunities: Iceland and Mexico

Thursday, March 4th (tomorrow) there is an outside lecture opportunity double header. First up, Dr. Sheila Seaman from the University of Massachusetts will be presenting a lecture highlighting some of her ongoing projects in Iceland as part of the W&L Department of Geology Seminar Series. Her talk, titled Iceland: volcanoes, glaciers, and some horses will discuss the petrology of this unique tectonic setting, as well as the rigors of performing field work in an exotic locale (and, according to the title, glaciers and some horses as well). The talk will be held at 5:30pm in Science Addition A114 and should be appropriate for a general audience.


Following closely at 7:00pm, Dr. Emily Wakild of Wake Forest University will present a talk titled "Where are the Parks? Great Ideas, Cultural Contexts, and Conservation in Mexico" in the Northern Auditorium of Leyburn Library. For those of you who wish to attend either or both of these lectures for credit, remember that your submitted document must contain both a brief summary and a comment about the most interesting thing that you learned from the talk.
