Just so you don’t think I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth … I have been at the 2011 Keck Geology Symposium for Undergraduate Research at Union College for the last 4 days. It was a busy, busy symposium with lots of talks and posters – all of undergraduate geology research of all flavors – along with a day long field trip to the Adirondacks (and I have the two bags full of fabulous garnet-bearing rocks to prove it – with one garnet the size of a tennis ball).
There was a lot of geology, but thought I’d mentioned two things that might interest the Eruptions crowd:
All exciting research being done by undergraduates, mostly at small colleges like Denison. Fun times, that is for sure.
I’ll be back on our regular schedule sometime tomorrow!
