Cooperative Program in Space Sciences (CPSS)
Speakers Bureau

CPSS's mission is to conduct space science research and leading-edge instrumentation development, enable research by the space science communities, and to expedite the effective dissemination of space science research, technology and data to the educational community.

As part of this mission, we provide a Speakers Bureau of staff scientists, working across the sweep of CPSS activities. Talk abstracts and speaker's contact details are viewable by clicking the title, while individual's CVs are available by clicking speaker's names. Departments interested in booking a talk for their colloquium/seminar series should contact the speaker directly.
