Information and Insight
The Kimbell School of Geosciences hosts an exciting series of presentations open to the entire campus community. The geosciences and environmental science colloquium series brings experts to our campus to present their research to our students and members of a broad audience. In addition to afternoon presentations, roughly one per month, the speakers interact with students and faculty.
