Postdoctoral research associates and graduate students associated with ND Energy affiliated faculty are invited to the monthly PD&GS Luncheon Seminars. Seminars are presented by group members about their research to facilitate cross-disciplinary research collaborations and to provide a forum whereby postdocs and graduate students may gain a better understanding of the energy-related research programs at Notre Dame.

Seminars also provide an opportunity for participants to practice their talks before a major conference and to obtain feedback from their peers.

The scheduled presentation for November's seminar is:

• "Patterns and mechanisms of Plio-Pleistocene climate change in southeastern Africa," by Audrey Taylor (Berke lab)
