| For your first two seminar presentations, prepare a 30-minute talk. This leaves time for scientific discussion and constructive criticism of your presentation style and graphics. Remember to appoint one of your colleagues to introduce you and to lead the question and answer period following the talk. Hosts should also be prepared to respond to any technical needs that arise for the speaker. For AGU-style talks you are allotted 15 minutes, which includes 5 minutes for questions and changeover to the next speaker. Practice your presentation so that you can finish in 10 minutes. We will hold you to the allotted time. Powerpoint should be used for all presentations. Bring your talk on a laptop, USB drive or CD. A computer projector will be available for hook-up. For AGU oral presentation guidelines, click on "Oral session guidelines" here. If you opt to have us critique a poster, you may want to review the AGU "Poster session guidelines" at the same URL. ABSTRACTS are REQUIRED for all presentations. Abstracts must be emailed to the class on or before the Monday preceding your talk. |
