CPAESS Discovery Seminars

CPAESS Seminar banner

We are delighted to share some of the diverse science and research from CPAESS scientists. CPAESS Discovery Seminars take place on the second from the last Wednesday of each month at 11:00 am Mountain Time. Talks will be posted on CPAESS' YouTube channel after the seminar.

If you are a CPAESS scientist interested in sharing your research at a seminar, please check out our schedule's availability and email us to sign up for a speaking slot.

Please join us for any of these presentations on UCAR's Live Broadcast site. Beneath the broadcast screen is a Slido link so that you can ask questions of the speaker.
