Congrats to our wonderful undergraduate researchers, who had a super successful spring! Abigayle Ward graduated in December, 2022 and will be starting a PhD in soil science at the University of Connecticut. Joshua Karas graduated in May, 2023 and will be starting a position with Arcadis. Gabriel Felker successfully submitted and presented his senior thesis this spring and will be graduating at the end of the summer after field camp. Good luck to everyone, we'll miss you!

I am excited that Dr. Cole McCormick has joined our research group as a postdoctoral scholar. Cole comes to Penn State after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Manchester. He hails from Alberta, Canada, and received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Alberta. He will be leading a range of dolomite-based projects. Welcome, Cole!

New papers out in 2022

Dalton Hardisty and I published a diagenetic modeling paper focusing on carbonated redox proxies. We examine how different styles of diagenesis impact U isotopes, CAS isotopes, the Ce anomaly, iodine-calcium ratios, and more. Check it out (open access!) in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta here.

I was also a co-author on two other mass extinction studies!
- Congrats to Terry Isson for his work on the potential for reverse weathering to prolong Early Triassic warming following the end-Permian extinction in Science Advances. Read it here.
- Congrats to Pulkit Singh for leading an integration of paleontological and I/Ca constraints following the end-Triassic extinction in Geobiology. Read it here.

Fran Meyer, recent UC Berkeley alum and MIT research assistant, has joined our research group this fall. Fran and Kim went to SLAC this past summer for some pre-grad school data collection.

Gabe Felker is a senior thesis student co-advised by Josh Garber.

Kaitlin Taylor successfully defended her M.S. thesis and is on a new adventure as a chemist in a pharmaceutical company in her home state of Connecticut.

Chelsie Bowman accepted a Visiting Assistant Professorship at Georgia Southern University and is excited to return to the south to teach geology lectures and labs.

Congrats and good luck to you both!

Undergraduate Researcher Josh Karas presented his first research poster this spring, including at the Northeast Geobiology Symposium!

The grad students in our lab did an amazing job at the Penn State Geosciences Grad Colloquium. Kaitlin Taylor and Adam Stone were awarded 3rd and 4th place, respectively,  for best MS talks/posters, Kayla Irizarry received 2nd place in best pre-comp talks, and Fai Chanchai  was selected first place in pre-comps posters!

Big congrats to all lab members this spring!

Congratulations to Stanford MS student Michael Pimentel-Galvan for the publication of his paper, Duration and Intensity of End-Permian Marine Anoxia, in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems! Michael revisited modeling of the U isotope and concentration records using a Monte Carlo scheme over a range of parameter values, evaluating the model runs using PCA. 

Please see the paper here: https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GC010130
