Physical Sciences Laboratory Seminars 2021
The PSL Seminar Series is typically held at 2:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Tuesdays and features a mix of internal and external speakers. The goal of the series is to facilitate collaboration between PSL and external scientists. The series is co-sponsored by partners at CIRES.
Details including connection information can be found on the individual announcements. If you have any questions about the series, please contact the coordinators at: psl.seminars@noaa.gov. Get seminar announcements sent straight to your inbox by signing up below.
