“Where in the World Am I?”

World images will be displayed in the lobby area around Mitchell Earth Sciences Building, thanks to the Stanford Libraries, our generous sponsor. Pick up your ballot at the event to guess the locations of the high resolution imagery. A $50 gift certificate to the Stanford bookstore will be given to the first winner and other gifts provided by Stanford will given to the next four winners chosen from all of the correct entries.

Bring along your colleagues and join us for the talks. We’ll provide the desserts and refreshments. See you there!
