Molnar honored as 2014 Distinguished Research Lecturer
Few scientists have consistently tackled as broad a spectrum of challenging problems in the physics of the Earth at a fundamental level. What distinguishes Molnar from any other leading Earth scientists is the remarkable range of tools that he brings to his work: his observational skills in seismology, tectonic physics and geological field work and his extensive theoretical contributions in related heat and mass transfer in the solid earth, the oceans and the atmosphere. Molnar's exemplary scholarship and service reflect the best this university has to offer.
The lecture will be presented by Molnar on Sept. 5 at 4 p.m. in Old Main Chapel, and will be followed by a reception in the Heritage Center.
