INCUS Science Seminar Series
We're excited to announce the launch of a new INCUS Monthly Seminar Series focused on deep convection. These seminars are designed to foster engagement across the broader atmospheric science community by bringing in expert invited speakers each month to share cutting-edge research and insights on deep convective topics.
Details of the 2025 and 2026 seminar series are shown below.
We warmly invite you to join us for these monthly talks and to share this announcement widely with your departments, collaborators, and networks. Our goal is to build an open, inclusive space for discussion and knowledge exchange across institutions and disciplines. If you are interested, you are welcome to add yourself to the INCUS Science Seminar Series mailing list.
