2025-26 Jahns Lecturer Dr. Chris Stohr Visits the Carolinas Chapter – Jan. 26-30, 2026

In the last week of January, Dr. Stohr will make presentations at the College of Charleston, the University of South Carolina, Clemson University, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and East Carolina University, and will be the speaker at our winter chapter meeting in Charlotte on January 29.

If you will not be able to attend our winter chapter meeting, you might consider seeing him speak at one of these schools. Maybe you are an alumnus and are looking for a reason to reconnect with the geology department. Attending his talk at your alma mater would be a great opportunity. Commonly, Dr. Stohr will meet also with students and faculty in the afternoons after his presentations.

Here is his schedule for that week:
