Bureau of Economic Geology Seminar SeriesFebruary, 20 2026Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PMLocation: BEG VR Room 1.116C BEG Seminar presented by Dallas Dunlap, BEG, in person. Topic: Channel Architecture Influenced by Precursor Channelized Submarine Landslide Topography in the Taranaki Basin |
Hot Science - Cool Talks: The Biology of LoveFebruary, 20 2026Time: 5:30 PM - 8:30 PMLocation: Welch Hall 2.224 and Grand Hallway What does science say about love and long-term relationships? In this Hot Science – Cool Talks event, biologist Dr. Steven Phelps explores the biology of love through the surprising world of prairie voles, one of the few monogamous mammals. By studying how vole brains form lasting bonds, Dr. Phelps reveals what biology, brain chemistry, and evolution can teach us about human connection and commitment. This engaging talk offers a fresh, science-based look at why we pair up right after Valentines Day! |
DeFord Lecture | Eileen MartinFebruary, 26 2026Time: 3:30 PM - 4:30 PMLocation: JGB 2.324 Is seismology actually useful for climate and hazards monitoring? by Eileen Martin, associate professor at Colorado School of Mines Abstract: The past two decades have seen major advances in seismic sensors, with growing application to observe fine-scale changes in the near surface, often forced by climate change or geohazards. This includes technologies such as portable nodes, low-weight accelerometers, and fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing. With these sensors, we\'ve observed new signals, imaged small features in the subsurface, and gotten our first up-close look at more processes. Modern seismic sensors can be the subsurface counterpart to remote sensing observations, which sounds ideal, but most folks in the geohazards and climate communities aren\'t racing to adopt seismology into their toolkit. In this talk, we\'ll look at the practical challenges keeping seismology from being more useful, and several of our recent advances that are helping us overcome these issues. We\'ll explore these challenges in the context of alpine glacier observations, seismic hazards mapping, and a multi-year permafrost monitoring study. This talk will touch on sensor deployment in the field, large-scale data management, making our data analyses faster, and the challenges of automated interpretation of results in these new contexts. |
