Two Wooster geologists, Colin Mennett (’10) and Terry Workman (’10), are featured Voices of Undergraduate Geoscience Research on the Council for Undergraduate Research (CUR) Geoscience Division website. Colin and Terry were interviewed by a CUR Councilor when they presented their research at the 2009 Annual GSA Meeting in Portland, OR. In the podcasts, Colin and Terry discuss the benefits, difficulties, and strategies of working one-on-one with faculty on a year-long Independent Study. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to do an I.S. at Wooster, here’s your opportunity to hear about a couple of first-hand experiences! Enjoy!
Colin Mennett explains the results of his work in using tree-rings to investigate the Alaskan Cedar Decline.
Terry Workman and Alena Giesche presented results of their work in Alaska. Their poster entitled DEVELOPING A PROXY RECORD FOR MOISTURE VARIABILITY THROUGH THE HOLOCENE FOR THE KENAI LOWLANDS, ALASKA, KENAI NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE
These interviews are VERY well done. More people should hear such voices, especially prospective students! This is a tribute to the Wooster system of undergraduate science and the creativity of our students.
