The Farvolden Lecture Series, hosted by Waterloo's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, was initiated in 1996 as an annual celebration in honour of Dr. Robert Farvolden. The Lecture Series fosters interaction and communication between the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, the alumni of the hydrogeology program and the groundwater community at large.
This year Cathy Ryan, a professor in Geoscience at the University of Calgary who had the privilege of being supervised by Robert Farvolden, will present the 2017 Farvolden Lecture, "Groundwater, Bubbles, and Energy."
