We hope that everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing break and that your semester starts well! The first colloquium of the semester is tomorrow, with Dr. Jessica Tierney from the University of Arizona. Due to the time difference between PA and AZ we will be holding our first ‘coffee hour’ of the semester tomorrow from 5:30 PM – 6:15 PM (after colloquium).

Dr. Tierney’s research uses organic biomarkers, alongside climate model output, statistical approaches, and other paleoclimate data to recreate past climate conditions. As usual, this will be a relaxed hour to get to know the speakers and learn more about their career paths, research, and interests outside of academia.
