Frontiers in Marine Science

 

The Eminent Scholar Lecture Series (ESLS) is lecture series held annually in the College of Marine Science (CMS), University of South Florida.  It is presented by the CMS and the US Geological Survey, and is sponsored by the St. Petersburg Times.

The ESLS brings in four speakers from institutions across the United States and abroad to address a given topic over two days in the early spring months. The series serves at least eight research and education institutions in the St. Petersburg area, including the CMS, USGS, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, USF St. Petersburg, USF Tampa, NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service, Florida Institute of Oceanography, and Eckerd College.

All lectures are open to the public.
