About the Society of Earth Science Students:
The Society of Earth Science Students is an undergraduate club within the Geosciences department that is open to all majors who are interested in the study of Earth sciences and systems, including: Geology, Geophysics, Climatology, Oceanography, Hydrology, Paleontology, Geography, Planetary Science, and Dendrochronology. We host weekly meetings that are structured to keep the undergraduates informed about departmental talks, trips, and research opportunities. While professors and graduate students often come to discuss their research, we also have fun, social days involving games, movies, picnics, and volleyball. In addition, we have a strong presence at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, and we participate in other community outreach here in Tucson. The club also goes on organized hiking and camping trips, mining tours, and museum visits.
