Prof. Geoffrey Clark's Farewell Party

Hi everyone,

I'm posting some pictures from the farewell party we held for Prof. Clark last week (photos courtesy of Sawada-san). After 2 months with our lab, it was finally time for him to head back to Canberra. We really enjoyed having him here and hope that it was a fruitful experience for him as well.

セミナーのお知らせ

こんにちは、雨川です。
早くもクリスマスソングが流れるようになりましたね。
横山研から一足早いクリスマスプレゼント…ではないですが、今週開催するセミナー２件についてお知らせいたします。

1件目はベルン大学の小端博士の講演で、研究内容だけではなく、海外の若手研究者が欧州で研究を行うためのファンド「マリーキューリーフェローシップ」についての紹介もしていただけることになっています。
セミナーの詳細はpdfをご覧ください。

2件目はスタンフォード大学のTom Langenstein 教授によるセミナーでGPSなど測地学的な研究内容についてお話しいただく予定です。詳細はこちら↓です。

どちらもご興味のある方はぜひご参加ください。
