Wooster geologists Terry Workman and Greg Wiles are joined by Alena Giesche (Middlebury College), Jessa Moser and Tom Lowell (U. Cincinnati) on Alaska’ Kenai Peninsula undertaking paleoclimate research. We are coring lakes in collaboration with The Kenai National Wildlife Refuge to get a better understanding of climate change and precipitation changes since the Ice Age.

Good to see you folks on the blog! This is what geology is all about. I look forward to more stories!
Wow! The weather looks great, but that set up you have on the canoes seems a little risky. It looks like it works, though. Hope you don’t have any mishaps!
