Fotis was awarded a GSA summer research grant. Nice job!
Solar Eclipse
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.

Welcome visiting PhD student Mauricio Baldim!
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.
Pub: Nature Scientific Reports, 2017
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.
