USGS Portland Seminar Series Schedule

Land, Water, & Atmosphere: the Next 50 Years

The Spring 2013 Seminar Series is a collaboration between USGS, Portland State University (PSU), and Oregon State University (OSU), building on the long-standing Spring Water Resources Seminar Series at OSU. USGS and PSU are excited to bring this series of internationally known speakers to Portland!

The Spring Seminars will be held on Thursdays, generally from noon to 1 pm on the PSU campus -- Cramer Hall, room 271, although one or two may be held at the USGS Oregon Water Science Center office. You can find Cramer Hall in quadrant E6 on a PSU campus map, near the intersection of SW Broadway and SW Montgomery. The seminars are informal and are open to the public. Bring your lunch.

A few extra seminars may be scheduled on Tuesdays at the USGS office, and will be posted here as part of the Oregon Water Science Center (ORWSC) seminar series. Directions to the USGS office are available at http://or.water.usgs.gov/location.html.

If you would like to be notified of upcoming seminars via email, then please sign up for the online mailing list at: http://or.water.usgs.gov/seminars/maillist.html. The online mailing list also will be used to notify its members of seminar cancellations or other schedule changes.
