The School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is pleased to announce that the 10th SOEST Open House will be held on October 16th and 17th, 2009. On behalf of the Dean of SOEST and the Open House Planning Committee, we would like to invite you to attend this year’s Open House.

SOEST is home to the academic departments of Oceanography, Geology and Geophysics, Meteorology, and Ocean and Resources Engineering, as well as several related research institutes. SOEST’s graduate programs in these sciences are highly ranked nationally and SOEST brings in close to $70 million dollars in research funding per year.

The SOEST Open House presents a diverse array of entertaining and educational “hands-on” activities, which highlight the research conducted by our faculty, students, and staff.

Your students and families will learn about volcanoes, tsunamis, El Nino, planetary exploration, hurricanes, coastal erosion, and marine ecosystems to mention just a few topics, through a variety of videos, posters, and interactive demonstrations. They will visit state-of-the-art laboratories and hear about cutting-edge research from the scientists who are making the new discoveries!

For more information, please contact Tara Hicks Johnson at 808-956-3151; email: hickst@hawaii.edu.

If you are a teacher planning on bringing a class, please stay tuned for registration information. The public is welcome to come at any time without a reservation.

The SOEST Open House is only offered every two years. We hope that you will be able to join us for this great event!
