What makes the earth bumble and spout?

If you have never learned about the earth's internal energy, isostasy, and continental drift at a general education university level, come join me! I will be giving a demo lecture in preparation for a teaching interview about these concepts that are fundamental to the geologic processes that we observe on our planet.

Bio:
Nate researches how deficit and drip irrigation and management of cover crops affect soil carbon cycling and soil hydro-physical properties in California's Central Valley. He completed his PhD dissertation in 2016 at UC Merced where he studied how the traditional practice of intercropping with deep rooted native shrubs in the West African Sahel can serve as pumps to transfer water from deep, moist soil layers to shallow-rooted food crops growing nearby during extreme drought. Nate's work has taken him to Senegal, France, and the Western US. Nate received a bachelor's degree in Earth Sciences from UC Santa Cruz and worked as a geologist and field scientist in the renewable energy, environmental,  and water resources fields before entering graduate school. He has experience interacting with a wide array of stakeholders including subsistence farmers, water managers, forest managers, and academic researchers.

When: Jan. 24, Thursday, 12pm - 1pm

Where: SE2-224

Coffee will be provided, please bring your own mugs.

We look forward to seeing you,

Jing & Jennifer
