The Paul A. Witherspoon Distinguished Seminar
Series within the Earth Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory was established to honor Professor Paul
A. Witherspoon, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Geological
Engineering at the University of California Berkeley and Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory. Professor Witherspoon has been
a key figure over many decades in developing the methodology
for characterizing and modeling fluid flow and contaminant transport
in fractured rock systems.
The Paul A. Witherspoon Distinguished Seminar Series brings to LBNL eminent individuals holding international reputations in the scientific community whose research is outstanding, interdisciplinary, and of broad interest to strategic initiatives in the earth sciences. Speakers in the seminar series will normally spend a full day with researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California Berkeley. The highlight of the day will be a lecture by the speaker to the Earth Sciences Division and one hundred to three hundred invited guests. The speaker will also meet with individuals or in small groups to discuss topics of mutual interest within the speaker’s research area. |
