The 5th Annual UNLV
GeoSymposium

April 16-17, 2010

The UNLV Geoscience Department will host its 5th Annual Geoscience Student Symposium at the Blasco Event Wing in the Foundation Building, on the UNLV campus. The symposium is student-run and designed to provide graduate and undergraduate students with an opportunity to present their original research and receive feedback from industry, civic, and government professionals, as well as academic experts.

UNLV Geoscience students are planning a two-day event including presentations on Friday, April 16th, and a field trip on Saturday, April 17th. Oral presentations will be offered, which will include time for discussion with audience members, and student poster sessions will be presented on the 16th. A review panel will award prizes for the best oral presentations and posters. The day will conclude with a post-symposium gathering of all students, faculty, and invited guests at a reception with food and refreshments, and a silent auction of rock and mineral specimens. An exact schedule is still being determined.

The field trip will depart from the Lilly Fong Geoscience building parking lot on the morning of the 17th. More specifics on the field trip are on their way!

The UNLV Geoscience Student Symposium will showcase a wide range of important graduate and undergraduate research, and provide a forum for participating students to develop presentation skills in a friendly, relaxed environment. Student research projects include such diverse topics as: soils, geomorphology, hydrogeology, paleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, volcanology, seismology, structural geology, and economic geology. We hope that you can join us for this event!
