The 2nd Annual Las Vegas GeoSymposium
UNLV Geoscience students are planning a two-day event including presentations on Friday April 20th and field trips on Earth Day, Saturday April 21st. Oral presentations will be offered on Friday morning, and the 15 minute sessions will include time for discussion with audience members. Lunch will follow the oral presentations, with poster sessions scheduled for the afternoon period. A review panel will award prizes for the best presentations and posters in several geoscience specialties. The day will conclude with a post-symposium gathering of all students, faculty, and invited guests at a reception with food and refreshments. Half-day field trips are scheduled for Saturday, one in the morning and another in the afternoon. The field trips will focus on the geology of the Lake Mead area. Interested participants will tour Lake Mead on a houseboat, the Forever EarthTM, in the company of experts on the surrounding geology of this unique region. The UNLV Geoscience Student Symposium will showcase a wide range of important graduate and undergraduateresearch 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.
