GIIF-CAMFER GeoLunch
Spring 2007

Fridays, 1-2pm
111 Mulford Hall

GeoLunch is a weekly seminar series offering interesting talks, group discussion, and show-and-tells - all having to do with geospatial theory, research, and application! The GIIF and the Center for the Assessment and Monitoring of Forest and Environmental Resources (CAMFER) are teaming up to present GeoLunches. If you have a suggestion for a speaker or want to present yourself, please contact either Karin Tuxen or Ashley Holt.

GeoLunch occurs every Friday, 1:00 - 2:00pm in 111 Mulford Hall Conference Room, unless otherwise noted.
