The GISS Wednesday Lunch Seminar Series is an informal gathering designed to bring GISS people together (over pizza for $1 a slice) to learn more about what each of us are doing. This should facilitate better communication within the institute and make it easier to consider working together on different projects. We currently meet every other Wednesday.
There are normally two talks, each 15-20 minutes in length, plus ample time for questions and announcements of general interest.
Please contact Bastiaan van Diedenhoven, Nadine Unger, or Michael Way for further information about the seminars or to volunteer to give a seminar.
Presentation abstracts, related PDFs and PowerPoints (PPTs), and videos and audios of the talks will be posted here as they become available. We expect that the quality of the audio/video will improve as we move forward.
