Geosciences News
• Geology folks in campus news: click to read about the recent activities of Beth Caissie and David Boutt.
• UMass Geology grad student Carrie Petrik has received a Climate Fellowship from the non-profit Clean Air-Cool Planet. Climate Fellowships pair outstanding students with challenging projects aimed at moving the US toward a low-carbon future. Carrie will work with Sustainable Nantucket's Volunteer Green Council, and various town agencies and departments to draft a Climate Protection Action Plan for Nantucket. • Congratulations to Jason Kaiser, he was awarded a $25,000.00 scholarship from the Icelandic Leifur Eiriksson Foundation in February, 2009. The Leifur Eiriksson Foundation was established to provide recognition and financial assistance to further scholarly study and research through graduate student exchanges between Iceland and the United States. Jason is working on his MS with Sheila Seaman and will be using the scholarship to conduct field work in north-central Iceland in the summer of 2009. He will be mapping and sampling a mafic and silicic layered intrusion, with the goal of adding data to the debate as to the origin of silicic rocks in Iceland.
• Since participating on the Svalbard REU, Luke Trusel (Geology senior class of 2006) has been to Antarctica and is currently working on a multibeam bathymetry project in NE Alaska for the National Park Service via a Masters program at NIU. Read more here.
