This page lists public presentations
or research seminars that faculty members in the Department of
Geology and Geography are willing to give to interested groups.
Most, if not all, are illustrated talks including slides or Powerpoint
presentations. The speakers all hold Ph.D.s and are current faculty
in the Department.
Availability of specific talks
will be dependent on schedules and locations, and persons interested
in arranging a presentation should contact the faculty member
(click here for contact information).
Please bear in mind that neither Georgia Southern University nor
the Department of Geology and Geography will provide financial
support for the presentation, for the speaker's travel expenses,
and for the speaker's time.
