Earth System and Space Science Poster Conference
Friday, December 1, 2017
This free conference highlights work by students and post-doctoral scientists conducting research in Earth System & Planetary Science, Space Physics & Engineering. Participants and visitors from CU departments and research institutes as well as other Front Range schools and organizations are all welcomed. Feel free to download the flyer (click to enlarge) and posted it in your department or institute.
Registration:
Registration deadline is Friday, November 3, 2017. In order to register, you don't need to provide an abstract, only a title and our personal information.
