Big Rivers on Mars!

September, 18 2026

Time: 5:30 AM - 8:15 AM
Location: Welch Grand Hallway and 2.224 Auditorium

What can ancient rivers on Mars reveal about the planet’s past and its potential for life? In this Hot Science – Cool Talks with Timothy Goudge, explore ancient rivers, catastrophic floods, and massive drainage systems on Mars, and how the planet’s lack of plate tectonics shaped its unique landscape and potential for life. By studying relic rivers and water-shaped landscapes on Mars, scientists are uncovering clues about the planet’s history and where life may once have had a chance to exist. After all, where waters flow, life often follows.

Bureau of Economic Geology Seminar Series

Topic: Global developments for CCS - the need increases

The world continues to develop the pathways for sound deployment of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and now it appears CCS has an even bigger role than previously anticipated, specifically the geological storage part of CCS. This is because the latest science says that we are going to overshoot 1.5C and will need to do a lot of removal of carbon from the atmosphere if we want to return to 1.5C. This talk will provide an update on global developments in CCS.
