From sandrakt at ucr.edu Fri Oct 2 10:33:18 2026 From: sandrakt at ucr.edu (Sandra Kirtland Turner) Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2026 10:33:18 -0700 Subject: [Edge-all] Welcome Back & Upcoming Events Message-ID: Dear all, On behalf of the EDGE Institute, welcome to the start of the new academic year! For those of you who are new to UCR, EDGE is the Environmental Dynamics and GeoEcology Institute. Our goal is to bring together interdisciplinary scientists to enable scientific discovery about our changing world, prioritizing the development of just and sustainable solutions to issues involving land, air, water, and ecosystems, while educating students, the public, and policymakers. If you are interested in sustainability, global change, and the environment, we hope you will get involved with EDGE this year! Upcoming Events: EDGE is co-sponsoring a keynote speaker and reception alongside an upcoming workshop on aquatic methane emissions on *November 3, 2026*. The reception will be in the Geology Building courtyard from 4-5 pm, and we will confirm the location of the keynote talk shortly. I am attaching a flyer with more information about the speaker. If you are interested in additional details about the workshop, please contact Francesca Hopkins (fhopkins at ucr.edu). Please save the date! Next, please keep an eye out for information about the inaugural offering of our new graduate class, GEO/ENSC/EEOB 202, which will be offered in Winter 2027. The weekly 1-credit seminar will be a chance for graduate students across CNAS to learn about EDGE-themed research at UCR. For faculty, if you are interested in presenting, please reach out to me. For students, please keep an eye out for scheduling information; all are welcome to register! Also, please reach out if you have information about an upcoming EDGE-related event that you would like to share with the group.
