ATLAS Research Symposium

10-12 April 2024

The ATLAS Symposium is an annual student-run event, organized by the graduate student society, ATLAS, of the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department. It comprises a series of academic talks that are mainly driven by graduate students and a poster session prepared by undergraduate students, showcasing research projects on topics including geoscience, paleontology, environmental studies, human geography, and urban planning. The yearly ATLAS symposium is a valued tradition of our department, boasting a community of over 150 graduate students and 50 faculty members. It allows our students to share their research interests and learn from their peers and invited speakers. It also provides them with a great opportunity to work on their oral presentation and time management skills, for their future professional careers.
