Evaluating the slip history of crustal faults underlying Victoria, British Columbia: Implications for seismic hazards
What: This project will evaluate the potential activity of the Leech River and San Juan Fault systems, two major crustal faults that underlie the capital city of Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island, Canada. Current scientific thought suggests that these...The role of beaver on catchment sediment and carbon budgets
What: This Keck project will investigate the role of beaver in the sediment and carbon budgets of small catchments (<10 km2) in the central Adirondack Mountains of New York State. Working within Huntingon Wildlife Forest (managed by SUNY-ESF), our geomorphic...Historical ecology of marine mollusks in the northern Gulf of Mexico: Investigating anthropogenic impacts in coastal ecosystems through live-dead analysis
What: Human activities have enhanced nutrient delivery to coastal ecosystems in the northern Gulf of Mexico which has led to extensive eutrophication. By comparing populations living in the region today with the remains of historical populations preserved in marine...Subfossil assemblages as indicators of environmental quality in temperate lakes of Wisconsin
What: A field-based conservation research project using paleontological, sedimentological, and geochemical tools to address modern environmental concerns. When: Early July-Early August Where: Students will spend the first week in Wisconsin, collecting cores and...Keep in Touch!
