ATLAS is the 2nd largest graduate-run student society for Earth Scientists in Canada, formed in 1995 for graduate students of the Earth and Atmospheric Society (University of Alberta). ATLAS has fulfilled an important role in advocacy, outreach and event organization in the university community. Through professional and social activities we aim to promote cross-disciplinary discussion and 
encourage networking and personal advancement. ATLAS is comprised of ~20 person executive council, elected annually to fulfill important roles of advocacy, outreach and event organization. We run the department’s weekly lunch talk series as well as annual keystone events such as the Labor Day Field Trip, the fall welcoming event and the graduate students’ Research Symposium.

Outreach opportunities

Networking events

ATLAS both advertises and contributes to outreach opportunities within the local community. This includes presentations at local schools on geological topics, participation in university-wide volunteering initiatives (e.g. WISEST) and providing experienced guides for tour groups visiting the museum collections held here in the department.

If you would like to advertise an outreach event please contact us: atlaseas@ualberta.ca
Throughout the year ATLAS organizes numerous networking events both on and off campus. These create an environment for informal discussion, and foster professional relationships both inside and outside the department.

From September 2014, ATLAS will assume responsibility for the department wide welcoming event held at the start of the academic year for new and returning graduate students and faculty members.
