MARIE, Mich. – Lewis Brown, professor of geology at Lake Superior State University, and LSSU alumna Cammy Bright, Sault Ste. Marie, have collaborated with two other authors to publish research that was presented this month at the National Geological Society of America Conference in Boston. Bright, the lead author of the publication, is an LSSU geology graduate who is now pursuing a master’s degree in geology at University of Missouri-Columbia. Co-authors include Tim Lyons, who is Bright’s advisor at UM-C, and Carl Rexroad of the Indiana Geological Survey. The title of the publication is Rare-earth element analysis of biogenic (conodont) apatite: Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) and Missourian (Upper Pennsylvanian), Midcontinent, USA. “This is my first publication in geochemistry of conodonts and I have more planned with Cammy and Tim Lyons,” said LSSU’s Brown. “The future work, to be completed this year, will interpret oxygen isotopes derived from conodonts to reconstruct middle Pennsylvanian paleoclimates from New Mexico, Illinois Basin, the midcontinent, and Spain. This is a major part of the work for my National Geographic grant of several years ago.” Brown and Rexroad have worked with LSSU students for more than a decade on similar geology research projects. The center of their research has been with conodonts, the microscopic, hard-part, fossilized remains of primitive, jawless fish that lived approximately 510 to 240 million years ago. Brown said conodont remains are useful in resolving geological problems such as when a set of rocks was deposited at a site, and in what environmental setting the rocks formed.

Customer Service Cretaceous Period The Cretaceous Period was the most recent period of the Mesozoic Era, ending about 65 million years ago. dinosaur Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived on the Earth for about 170 million years, then became extinct. extinction The complete disappearance of a species, usually caused by environmental conditions, is called extinction. fossil The preserved remains of an organism that lived long ago are called fossils. Mesozoic Era The interval of the Earth's history from about 230 million to 65 million years ago is known as the Mesozoic Era. Ornithischia The Ornithischia were plant-eating dinosaurs with hipbones that resemble the hipbone arrangement of modern birds. reptile Reptiles are vertebrates that have dry scaly skin and breathe by lungs, among other characteristics. Saurischia The Saurischia were dinosaurs with hipbones similar to those of modern crocodiles. The group included both plant- and meat-eating dinosaurs. therapod The fiercest dinosaurs were the therapods, two-legged, flesh-eating members of the Saurischia.

Jobs Research in geology We believe that rich undergraduate research experiences are the best way for students to learn what it is to "be a geologist." Some of our research is outlined below. On-going research projects: Structure and tectonics of southern Mongolia. Dr. Lamb received a Petroleum Research Fund new faculty grant to support her research in southern Mongolia. As part of this project, three St. Thomas geology majors will be travelling with Dr. Lamb to southern Mongolia for most of June, 2002 to perform field work. The remainder of the summer will be spent processing and analyzing samples from the field season. The three student participants are: Justin Tweet: geochronology of igneous rocks of the Shin Jinst region. Tiffani Navratil: structural geology and tectonics of the Shin Jinst region. Rebeka Poier: structural geology of the Shin Jinst region.

Division of Resources and Environment Department of Applied Geology Part of the Department of Applied Geology. The Department of Applied geology at Curtin University has an active teaching and research program in hydrogeology and other related disciplines at Honours, Postgraduate diploma, Master and Ph.D. levels. Introductory hydrogeology and engineering geology courses are also taught in the last year of the undergraduate program. Postgraduate Diploma: This course is structured to provide advanced training in hydrogeology for both recent graduates and geoscientists already employed. This course is organised in such a way to complete 200 credit points to graduate. Units are made up of Core units, Specialist unit and Research Project units. Core units mainly cover advance hydrogeologic topics whereas specialist units are related topics such as G.I.S., Environmental Geology, Engineering Geology, Land Degradation and Conservation, Soils and Land Use etc. Research project units introduce the students to research methodology, literature review and a small research topic. Honours: Honours program basically provides a continuation (4th year) specialised studies to third year undergraduate program. Honours program is similar to the postgraduate diploma course work except that it has a bigger component of research and lower loading for lecture program. (Research = 60% and lectures = 40%).

This is very good news, especially since it will also fund the research of up to five Wooster students. The schedule for 2003-2004 Geology Club events is now online. It will be completely in the next two weeks. Wooster geology course materials , including syllabi, assignments, tests, quizzes, and links, are continually being added to our web pages. Some course syllabi for Spring 2004 are available, along with updated "Geology in the News" sections.

Field Photos Projects with Rachel Beane Casco Bay project I received funding for this project by NSF (grant #0126234) with a match by Bowdoin College for 2002-2005. The Casco Bay region of Maine includes felsic and mafic volcanics, pelites, and limestones that have been deformed and variably metamorphosed from chlorite to sillimanite grade. This project integrates studies in field geology, mineralogy, structural geology, metamorphic petrology and geochronology to better understand the processes that shaped this region. Summer research/ honors project This research will contribute to the larger Casco Bay project. The focus will depend in part on your interests and on the courses you have taken. The project will start with ten weeks of research during the summer ($3000 stipend), and continue as an honors project during the school year. The research will culminate in a thesis and a presentation at the Geological Society of Maine and/or Geological Society of America meetings. Abstracts of previous student projects in the Casco Bay region are at: http://academic.bowdoin.edu/geology/studentwork/html/meyer.shtml

Initially, there are no bubbles in the melt - the pressure is sufficiently high to ensure all volatiles remain in solution. However, volatile solubilities in a magma will decrease as the pressure decreases and, at some point, the concentration of CO in the magma will exceed its' solubility (water is a lot more soluble than CO consequently it is commonly CO solubility that is exceeded). At this point, bubbles of CO

"Learning Science Through Research" Keck Geology Consortium Undergraduate Sophomore Research Project Mars 2000 : An Integrated Regional Geological Study on Mars June 7th - July 9th at the Geodynamics Branch, Goddard Space Flight Center Eric Grosfils (Project Director), Pomona College , CA Susan Sakimoto (Project Faculty), USRA at 921, NASA/GSFC Carl Mendelson (Project Faculty), Beloit College , CA Jacob Bleacher (Project RA), now attending ASU , AZ High resolution altimetry and images returned by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft are providing new opportunities to study the intriguing geology of Mars. With funding support from the W. M. Keck Foundation , National Science Foundation and the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) team, ten sophomore students spent nearly five weeks at the Goddard Space Flight Center's Geodynamics Branch , where they used these datasets to study a 14 by 19 degree portion of the Cerberus Plains region SE of Elysium Mons. The science objective of the project was to assess the geological suitability of the Cerberus Plains region as a potential landing site for a future Mars mission; however, this was not the only objective. An equally important goal was to provide the students with an intensive research experience early on in the course of their education, enabling them to test their desire to pursue a career in science.
