The 4th Annual UNLV
GeoSymposium

April 17-18, 2009

The UNLV Geoscience Department will host its 4th 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 17th, and a field trip on Saturday, April 18th. Oral presentations will be offered, which will include time for discussion with audience members, and student poster sessions will be presented on the 17th. A review panel will award prizes for the best 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, but the 2008 schedule remains below as an example of what the 2009 GeoSymposium will provide.

The field trip will depart from the Lilly Fong Geoscience building parking lot on the morning of the 18th. 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!
