Building Strong Geoscience Departments in the Southeast
At the 2007 meeting of the Southeastern section of the Geological Society of America, Dallas Rhodes and Geoffrey Feiss convened a session on building strong geoscience departments. The session focused on successful geoscience departments, the elements of their success, and suggestions for programs that are at risk. Attention was paid to the challenges and opportunities particular to geoscience programs in the Southeast. Here are the presentations from that session.
