Join us on Friday, April 14, from 6 p.m.—9 p.m. for Earth and Space Exploration Open House. This FREE event is organized by graduate students from the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE). It includes a public lecture, 3D planetarium shows, interactive science exhibits for all ages, research groups and student clubs and stargazing with telescopes to learn about the night sky.
This semester's theme centers around Earth Week: Celebrating our relationship with our planet. Our program will feature keynote speaker Professor Ed Garnero, a geophysicist at the School of Earth and Space Exploration. Professor Garnero's lecture, "A 2023 Journey to the Center of the Earth," will focus on what lies under our feet, deep down inside the Earth.
Garnero researches the nature of planetary interiors using the tool of seismology. He works on structures in the deep interior. Also, he investigates ultra-low velocity zones -- small regions that maybe be distinct and partially molted sitting atop Earth's core-mantle boundary, 1/2 way to Earth's center.
This event is FREE.
The School of Earth and Space Exploration is located in the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building 4 (ISTB4) at 781 East Terrace in Tempe.
Parking is available at the Rural Road Parking Structure on Lemon Street and Rural Road (parking fees may apply).
