The foundation of Sharing Geoscience Online, as the name of course suggests, is interacting with other scientists, whether via the presentation materials you upload, comments you exchange with colleagues, and/or the live text chats scheduled for each session. In addition to the text-based interactions, all week you’ll also be able to participate in a series of Union-wide sessions, short courses an ...[Read More]
