Geological Sciences students and alumni attending the GSA annual meeting in Phoenix
Six students and three faculty from the Geological Sciences Department traveled to Phoenix, AZ, to share and learn about the latest developments in geochemistry, geomorphology, paleontology, and gender dynamics in geology at the Geological Society of America annual meeting Sept. 21-25.
Current department members presented five oral presentations (two of which were invited) and four poster presentations. Department members also chaired three technical sessions, participated in short courses, lead society council meetings, and engaged with departmental alumni and collaborators.
