Congratulations to PhD student Scott Braddock who received outstanding graduate student award and PhD student Peter Strand who received the outstanding graduate research award in the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture.
-
Brenda Hall, graduate students Meghan Spoth and Maraina Miles and undergraduate Eva Griffiths spent a month on a sailboat in the Beagle Channel, southern Chile, along with colleagues from the University of Cincinnati and the Universidad de Magallanes and a science journalism student from Northwestern University. They were collecting data to help answer questions about the cause of the last ice-age termination. Stay tuned for a larger report on the field season soon!
