Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry
Bawi Sung and Nahum Gerezgher are both American Chemical Society Project SEED interns in our lab this summer. Bawi is studying Ordovician carbonates and Nahum is studying iron chemistry of a northern Indiana lake. Both are doing an awesome job.
Fotis did it again by winning a graduate research award from Sigma Xi.
Fotis was awarded a GSA summer research grant. Nice job!
Here I am demonstrating some hi-tech equipment for viewing the Great American Eclipse. The School of Science’s Eclipse Viewing Party was a lot of fun.

Mauricio will join our lab group as a visiting scholar from the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil . He will to do geochemical analysis of Archean rock collected from Brazil.
I’m so stoked that our lab group just published “Midcontinental Native American population dynamics and late Holocene hydroclimate extremes” in Nature Scientific Reports.
It seems like ages ago when we first collected our sediment cores from Martin Lake in 2013.

Dr. Alice Bosco Santos joins the lab to study modern euxinic basins and Precambrian sediments. Alice is a FAPESP postdoctoral scholar. She made the move from the University of Campinas, Brazil, and will be here for a year. Bem vinda Alice!
Congrats to undergrad student Dan Orazi for winning the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Military Veterans Scholarship Program. Dan was one of only ten students awarded this national scholarship. Way to go Dan!
