Hal Borns Symposium
The Hal Borns Symposium (formally the Agassiz symposium) is the annual research meeting of the Climate Change Institute. Faculty, staff and students contribute abstracts covering the range of topics studied in the Institute, including archeology and anthropology, paleoecology, glacial geology, marine geology, climatology and glaciology. In addition to oral presentations, there are several research posters on display throughout the meeting. Presentations are similar in style to those at professional meetings (e.g., AGU, GSA). All students, faculty and researchers affiliated with the Institute should prepare a 12 minute presentation on their recent research activities. Advisors, please spread the word among your students and encourage their participation.
The Hal Borns Symposium of the Climate Change Institute will take place on May 8-9, 2008. This year's venue will the Doris Twitchell Allen Village on the Orono campus.
