Dear English speakers in Boquete and beyond,
OSOP, the organization in Volcán that monitors Volcán Barú invites you to a lecture series in six parts presented by one of our visiting scientists.
Dr. Peter Bormann is retired from GFZ, the German equivalent of the USGS. He
has been publishing scholarly works since 1986 and still lectures in
Europe and Asia. He is the editor of the standard manual used by seismic
observatories all over the world.

The lectures will be in very good English with a slight German accent.
The first lecture called "History and future of seismology."
