Thursday, 7:30 same time and place (UVic’s Cornett Building B129 @ 7:30). Hein B. Bjerck, Professor in Archaeology at Norwegian University of Science and Technology will be giving a lecture on “The Colonization of Scandinavian Seascapes in the Pleistocene/Holocene Transition”.

It is a minimal description but should be a fascinating talk and very applicable to sea level and paleo-environmental research taking place on our central coast. Check out the website!
