GeoEnviron Seminar
The GeoEnviron seminar is the weekly seminar for the entire Geo- and Environmental Research Center (GUZ).
The purpose is to promote exchange between the work groups within the building.
The seminar is sponsored by TGAG (Tübinger Gesellschaft für Angewandte Geowissenschaften e.V.).
Fridays at 15:15-16:00 in GUZ Lecture Hall 3M07, Schnarrenbergstr. 94-96
and via Zoom (after login with your university account at the top of the page)
