Environmental Science Seminar Series
ANNOUNCEMENT
13 March 2020: Given the current and rapidly developing situation with COVID-19 in BC and across the country, the remaining seminars in the Environmental Sciences Seminar Series have been cancelled. The three remaining seminars, which were scheduled for March 19 and 26 and April 2, will not be held. We hope to see you all again at the ESSS next September.
Environmental Science is a broad, interdisciplinary field that attempts to understand and solve environmental problems, integrating the diversity of elements involved, including: biology, natural resource sciences, geography, politics, history, philosophy, economics, mathematics, geology, tourism, sociology, anthropology, journalism, chemistry, physics, and education. Seminars are on Thursdays from 4 to 4:50 p.m. in S203, unless otherwise indicated. Everyone is welcome!
You may also be interested in another seminar series, the Faculty of Science seminars.
