Expertise Metamorphic Petrology Mineral Chemistry and Microstructure Structural Geology and Tectonics Biography I graduated in the spring of 2008 from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities with a Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics under the direction of Dr. Donna L. Whitney on lawsonite eclogite and blueschist exposures in west-central Turkey. My masters, from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst 2003, was carried out under the direction of Dr. Michael L. Williams on mesoproterozoic mid-crustal

The goal of these programs is to provide early stage students first hand experience with cutting-edge research in a range of departments, including Biology, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, and more. These summer research experiences for undergraduate’s (REU)’s are ten-week research-immersion internship programs…
Earth science and life with the goal of understanding what makes a planet hospitable. Topics will include atmospheric sciences, oceanography, soil science, ecology, planetary science, plate tectonics, deep and early Earth processes, and volcanism. This program will include a 5 day field trip to the Western US. Competitive students will be interested in how the Earth works and be willing to travel. Majors from physics, chemistry, geology, environmental science, biology, computer science, or related

State University. He has recently received funding from the National Science Foundation to conduct field work in the SW Alaska Range to study the tectonics of the region. This project has a strong undergraduate research component as well as an outreach component for teachers/students associated with the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association (MESTA). As a result, he is keeping a blog about the experience. Much of the focus of the posts are geared toward geology in the field and the challenges

Grant brings Earth science workshop to PLU Next summer, K-12 and community college teachers will congregate at PLU for a five-day workshop on Earth science. Along with classroom and computer sessions, the teachers will trek through salt marshes on the coast looking for ancient tsunami…
authenticity of cutting-edge research while making that science inviting, accessible and useful to K-12 teachers and students, she added. Participants will learn how geoscientists developed the current understanding of Pacific Northwest plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes, and how EarthScope research is advancing this knowledge. The University of Portland, the lead institution, will host the first workshop this summer, with the following two held at PLU. “The location of PLU is excellent,” Whitman
