Dr. Amanda Ostwald, Assistant Professor of Earth & Environmental Sciences at Michigan State University, joins us in the planetarium to speak about her research into Martian geology.  Join us to learn about the geology of the red planet and the different methods we've used to study a planet humans have never set foot on.

Doors open at 5:30pm for pre-lecture refreshments.  Lecture starts at 6pm.

Seating is limited to 60 people, so an RSVP is requested. RSVP form will open one month prior to the event.

Sciences & Humanities Under the Dome is a free public lecture series supported by the Rita & Stanley Levy & Ratna & Vaman Naik Endowment. We welcome all members of the community to join us in the planetarium for these research lectures!
