We strongly encourage students to present their work.
Any faculty member can help provide information on abstract deadlines and registration procedures.
Ed Buchwald is the Carleton representative of the GSA for student memberships. In addition to presenting a paper, these meetings have great value to hear recent research results, to make contacts with potential graduate schools, to meet prominent scientists, and to learn about employment opportunities. These opportunities must be balanced against obligations on campus for class work and extracurricular activities. Your academic advisor is a person who can help you sort out these conflicting values. The Geology Department has a modest amount of money available to help defray costs associated with presenting scientific papers at national and regional meetings.
