Faculty, alumni, graduate students, and undergraduate students from Geological Sciences made a splash in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America’s annual conference in October.
Breccia sample from the Howell Structure in Tennessee
Looking for the Shock that Changed the Rock: Work for a 1960s Apollo mission may help geologists find evidence of meteorite strike in Tennessee. Dr. Keith Milam’s work is featured in a Live Science article on the search for meteorite strikes from the Ordovician Period.
