PhD Defense!
Posted by Evelyn Mervine
Someone has been posting these signs all over the Geology and Geophysics Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Earth and Planetary Science Department at MIT:
I can’t believe that I’m actually going to defend my PhD next week. Honestly, it feels somewhat surreal. I guess I’d better make a presentation! And make sure I know my carbon cycle.
MIT/WHOI Joint Program thesis defense presentations are open to the public, so if you’re in the area please feel free to attend.
Good luck!!!

Good luck and yes, have fun!

The title of my thesis is: Determining timescales of natural carbonation of Peridotite in the Samail ophiolite, Sultanate of Om… My PhD is technically in Marine Geology, but if I were to describe my expertise in geology, I would […]
