Gould Scholarship Award in Geology (Colorado College) Darrell M. Putman Scholarship in Geology (Colorado College) The Harrison Tout Scholarship Fund (Colorado College) Geological Experience Undergraduate thesis work, Cement Creek, CO Spent a week in the field with Dr. Paul Myrow and Justin Strauss; measured detailed section, noting changes in lithofacies and associated paleoenvironments; kept track of and traced potential sequence boundaries and geometries of various stratigraphic units; collected samples for thin section petrography, carbon isotope analysis, conodont biostratigraphy, and magnetic susceptibility analysis. Instructional/field work, Colorado College 80+ days of field experience, mapped structural, glacial and rock formations; identified minerals, rock formations, degrees of metamorphism, cross-cutting relationships, and paleoenvironments; surveyed with a Trimble GPS receiver, Trimble Total Station, and laser rangefinder; used an array geophones to collect seismic refraction data; investigated the regional geological setting in west-central Argentina; aided in a project investigating the rate of incision of the Green River, Utah. Laboratory Thin section petrography; magnetic susceptibility using MFK1 Kappabridges with the Safyr program (CalTech); stable isotope mass spectrometer (St. Louis University); rock cutting, crushing, and drilling; GIS; Trimble GPS receiver; scanning electron microscope; semi-automated x-ray diffractometer.
