The
Western Region Colloquium was founded in February 1996 as a monthly
speaker series intended to bridge the gaps between the Bureau's
four divisions. The colloquium seeks speakers who can present
information of broad interest that spans the spectrum of earth
and environmental science.
Our
speakers range from government and industry experts, to academics
to USGS staff from all Disciplines and Regions. The Colloquium has
become the most highly regarded speaker series in Menlo Park and
has provided a venue for broad-based talks that would not fit
into any of the narrow team-based seminar series. Because the
talks are pitched at a general level, they encourage participation
from a wide cross-section of USGS staff and thereby create new
opportunities for interdisciplinary research that previously did
not exist.
