Friday and Weekend September 18-20, 2009
117 BESSEY HALL, FRI 3:30PM
Hoffman Gives Department of Geosciences Stout Lecture
Dr. Paul Hoffman, a tectonic and sedimentary field geologist, will discuss the history of climate change science at a free public presentation Friday September 18 in 117 Bessey Hall at 3:30 p.m. His talk is titled, "The Pleistocene glacial controversy and the discovery of global warming and continental dynamics."
Dr. Hoffman specializes in the study of glacial processes and extreme climatic events. He is widely known for his involvement in one of the most important developments in the geological sciences of the last several decades, namely the "Snowball Earth" hypothesis. The Snowball Earth hypothesis was developed to explain geologic evidence for intense periods of glacial activity 600-700 million years ago, which affected the entire Earth surface, from pole to pole.
Academic Planning Committee Budget Hearing September 18
The APC hearing on proposed budget reductions is 2:30 - 5:15 p.m. September 18 at the Nebraska Union (Regency Room). The task of the APC is to review the Chancellor's proposed cuts in light of their probable impact on the university's academic mission and approve them or suggest other ways of meeting the budget reduction goal. To accomplish this task, the APC welcomes information from all who may be affected by the proposed reductions. A schedule is available for download.

Students Visiting India Bring Back Ideas for New Dairy Store Foods
Mint green colored pistachio-flavored milk soon might become a standard in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Dairy Store. It will, at least, if everything goes according to the plans of two food science and technology students who visited southern India this summer and learned how to create the milk. The trip by Yulie Meneses and Alex Nelson was the result of agreements signed between UNL and two universities in India.
The agreements with Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (TANUVAS) in Chennai and Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University (SVVU) in Tirupati allow for faculty and student exchanges. Vice chancellors and faculty members from both institutions have visited UNL, and one visiting faculty member from TANUVAS recently conducted research on ways to ensure the safety and extend shelf life of indigenous Indian dairy products. more....
