Public Lectures

John Diebold speaks to a packed crowd, "A New Era in Ocean Exploration: Introducing Research Vessel Marcus G. Langseth," March 18, 2007.

The Public Lectures series was begun in 1999 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Lamont-Doherty. Each spring since then, four or five different Lamont researchers have given presentations on their current research. Topics have ranged from “New York City Underwater? Storm Surge Risks in the Face of Rising Sea Levels” and "How Old is the Earth and How Do We Know?” to “Plumbing the Depths: Volcanoes as Windows into the Deep Earth”.

After the lectures and question and answer periods, receptions are held so that attendees can discuss the topics at greater length.
