2009 EAPS Lecture Series: Climate Effects on Human Evolution and Human Impacts on Climate Change
Shuhei Ono
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
During 2009 there will be the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species. EAPS will present a series of topics that will include Plio-Pliocene climate change and human evolution, as well as geological/geochemical records of human impacts on climate change, human evolution in the environmental and ecological context. This series is designed to complement the program offered January 22-24 by the 2009 MIT Darwin Bicentennial Symposium.

Fri Jan 9, 01-03:00pm, 54-1221
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
This session is to introduce users to the JEOL JXA-733 Superprobe. You will have hands-on experience (if time permits) on our electron microprobe equipped with enhanced imaging capabilities and learn about wavelength and energy dispersive spectrometry, back-scattered electron, secondary electron, cathodoluminescence, and elemental x-ray imaging. Please e-mail Dr. Chatterjee at nchat@mit.edu.
