November 18, 2010 PLU student and prof head to Antarctica for global warming research through study of rocks and ice By Barbara Clements In a lab littered with Hostess snack bars and French fry wrappers, geosciences student Mike Vermeulen ’12, turns to his computer and pops up a map of Antarctica, then points to a grid in the upper part of the frozen continent. PLU geoscience professor Claire Todd and PLU student Mike Vermeulen head to deep into Antarctica to study rocks that may help explain

But Grossberg is thrilled at the opportunity. “I just love being outdoors, and this gives you an appreciation for the overall research we’re doing and how all the pieces connect, how they all fit together,” he said. Scientific research, he’s learned, is 95 percent failure and 5 percent success. So there is a lot of slogging through data that may not

Co-authors for the study were Hugo Lagercrantz, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden as well as a member of the Nobel Assembly and Patricia Kuhl, endowed chair for the Bezos Family Foundation for Early Childhood Learning and co-director of the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences.

variables in the equations Fortuner has been exploring. His findings show the amount of expansion and energy in the universe over time, and give insight into what parameters affect the physics of the very early universe. Entering numerical codes into a computer program and running simulations for hours day after day wasn’t glamorous, but it’s been an invaluable experience for Fortuner – a physics major who almost failed his first physics class. “When I took Intro to Physics class, the first college
