2020 January 6 Dear Community, We are pleased to announce that nominations for speakers for the 2020-2021 CIG Speakers Series are now open. The CIG Speakers Series seeks to promote computational modeling in geodynamics and related earth science disciplines. Speakers are drawn from a diverse pool of experts with exceptional capability to communicate the power of computation for understanding the dynamic forces that shape the surface and operate in the interior of our planet. Lectures are aimed at a broad scientific audience suitable for departmental or university colloquia series, and similar venues. Many thanks to our 2019-2020 speakers - Sylvain Barbot, Sarah Stamps, and Jolante van Wijk for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their expertise with diverse audiences and to talk with students in a classroom setting. These visits have been very well received by the host institutions. We look forward to continuing next year with another group of excellent CIG speakers! **Nominations** Know a speaker that can give a compelling and accessible talk on CIG related science?
