February 18: 12th Annual GAS Banquet
One hundred and forty three alums, faculty, students, and friends attended the 2012
GAS annual banquet, which was held at Traditions Hall in the Gibbons Alumni Center
on USF’s Tampa Campus. The event netted $37,682 for the Dr. Richard A. Davis, Jr.
Endowed Fellowship in Geology. There were 14 sponsored tables, including both
corporate and personal sponsorships from alumni and faculty. Forty-four students were
sponsored at the banquet. GAS awarded two fellowships, totaling total of $2,500, to a
Ph.D. and a Masters student. The annual Geology Alumni Society Award was presented
to Bill Harrison.
May: Spring Geology Commencement Reception
Six graduating graduate students, two Ph.D. and four MS, were honored at the spring
reception. Each graduate was given a complimentary one-year membership to the
Alumni Association to encourage future participation Geology Alumni Society.
August 3: Summer Geology Commencement Reception
Six graduate, four Ph.D. and two MS students, graduated in the summer semester and
were honored at the summer reception. Each graduate was given a complimentary
one-year membership to the Alumni Association to encourage future participation in
the Geology Alumni Society.
September 28: 14th Fall Rock Breaker Social
Geology students, faculty, and alumni attended a happy hour social at the New World
Brewery in Ybor City. This event welcomed returning students and encouraged the
interaction between students and alums to help spur employment and mentoring
program opportunities to benefit both students and employers. One of the event’s
success stories includes a master’s student who met with a representative of a local
environmental consulting firm and subsequently landed an employment opportunity.
October 26: GAS Wins Four USF Alumni Association Awards!

2013 Withlacoochee Rockhounds Scholarship Recipient
SAMANTHA KINMAN TAVAREZ
Being born and raised in Deming, a small town in southwestern New Mexico
known as the “Home of Good Water and Fast Ducks,” Samantha Tavarez
grew up spending nearly every waking moment outdoors. She built forts in
the desert, played in the dirt, rode bikes, fished, camped and hiked in the
mountains. Her background transformed her into a rock-loving, outdoors nut.
From a very young age, she had a fascination with volcanoes and swore that
she’d one day be a NatGeo photographer and scientist. It was a pipe dream,
but she was determined. Subsequent to Samantha’s four years studying art
and photography, and more than 12 years working in the graphic design
and photography industries, she is graduating with a B.S. in geology. The
fall of 2013 will mark her first semester of graduate school in pursuit of her
PhD. She plans to focus on physical volcanology (hazard assessment) and
geophysics. However, she also plans to implement coursework in computer
science learn probabilistic modeling, artificial intelligence and pattern
recognition in geodynamic systems. “I’m incredibly grateful to have
been selected for this scholarship, and will absolutely put it to the
best use possible this semester. I’m excited for things to come and
I look forward to the adventures to come.” Samantha Tavarez.

Fellowship Recipients
Ph.D. candidate Mel Rodgers ($3,000)
RICHARD A. DAVIS, JR., ENDOWED FELLOWSHIP AWARDEES 2013
The proceeds from our banquets grow the Richard A. Davis Endowed Fellowship fund of
the USF Foundation. Interest from the endowment supports annual awards to outstanding
graduate students. The Department’s Graduate Committee selects the awardees from
nominations submitted by the faculty. The policy of the committee established in 2004 is that
students can’t win the award in successive years.
Mel Rodgers studied at the
University of Durham in the United Kingdom
and graduated in 2004 with an MSci in
Geophysical Sciences. She spent four months
in Mexico at the University of Colima working
with Dr. Nick Varley during the 2004 eruption
of Colima Volcano.
In 2005 Mel joined ARKeX Limited, a
geophysical survey company specialising in
oil and gas exploration. She worked as crew
chief on airborne field operations in North
America, Africa and the Middle East. From
flying low-level surveys in the Canadian
Arctic to managing the logistics of moving
aircraft and ground equipment across
international boundaries in the Middle East,
she spent four years living out of a suitcase
and travelling the world.
Eventually the draw of volcanoes lured her back to academia and in 2009 she accepted a Ph.D. position in
volcano seismology working with Dr. Diana Roman at the University of South Florida. Her research focuses
on the seismicity of Telica Volcano in Nicaragua and in 2010, along with researchers from Pennsylvania State
University, she was involved in the installation of a seismic and GPS network on Telica Volcano. Her project has
a large field component and every six months she makes maintenance visits to the network to download data
and carry out any necessary repairs. A large part of her work has been to organise, catalogue and process
vast amounts of seismic data - not a trivial task with over 350,000 detected earthquakes since March 2010.
Telica erupted in 2011 and Mel is currently identifying the seismic precursors to this eruption. Her first paper
on seismic precursors to the 1999 eruption of Telica is in preparation and due to be submitted to the Journal of
Volcanology and Geothermal Research in the next few weeks.
In addition to essential volcano-seismology processing tasks, such as event-detection, spectral analysis
and earthquake-location, Mel is interested in the identification of repeating earthquakes and in solving the
computational challenge associated with performing this type of analysis on extremely large data sets. She has
been collaborating with a software engineer to develop open source code that, once finalised, will be available
to the seismology community for analysis of these large data sets.
When not working, Mel competes in triathlons and she recently completed her first half-ironman. Aside from
swim/bike/run training she can often be found sailing, kayaking or playing music, and was recently introduced
to the fantastic world of caving.

Fellowship Recipients
M.S. candidate Denise Davis ($1,500)
Denise Davis was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. She
went to Tampa Bay Technical High School focusing on architectural
drafting and design and culinary arts. Cheesecake was her specialty.
In the fall of 2010, she received her Bachelors of Science in Geology
from USF. During that time she was a research assistant for Dr.
Len Vacher working on geoscience education research. She was
also vice-president for the Geology Club her last semester of her
Bachelors degree. After receiving her B. S. in Geology she worked
for SWFWMD for about nine months (until the funding ended) in the
Regional Observation and Monitor-well Program group. There she got
to explore the Geohydrologic world and work with some great people.
In the spring of 2011, she began working on her Masters of Science
in Geology at USF under the direction of Dr. Ping Wang. She is
currently part of the Coastal Research Lab with an interest in sediment
transport. Geoscience education is still a great interest of hers as
well. At the Geological Society of America 2012 Annual Meeting, she
helped lead a workshop titled “Quantitative Literacy and Geology in
the National Parks” alongside Dr. Vacher, Dr. Mark Rains, and Mark
Horwitz. She is currently working on an NSF grant with Dr. Ping
Wang to create a virtual fieldtrip for the senior level class. For this
virtual fieldtrip, students will get to explore subenvironments of the
high energy siliciclastic barrier island environment, modern carbonate
environment, and low energy siliciclastic barrier island environment
from the comfort of their desk. The students will also get to learn
about the field methods used to explore the subenvironments. She
intends on completing her Masters in the summer of 2013 and then
hopes to start on a Doctorate degree in the fall.
She would like to thank the Geology Alumni Society for supporting the
Dr. Richard A. Davis, Jr. Endowed Fellowship in Geology. It is a great honor to receive this award and a great
help financially. She would also like to give a special thanks to Dr. Len Vacher and Dr. Ping Wang for all of
their support and inspiration.
