Faculty members
Jon Lewis and
Greg Mount, along with students Allie Berry, Cate Bressers and Aaron Seidel, will travel to San Francisco during the fall 2016 finals week to present at the
American Geophysical Union fall meeting. This meeting is the largest international conference in the geological sciences, with more than 20,000 attendees expected.
- Allie Berry (’17) and Jon Lewis will present a talk titled “The Longitudinal and Vertical Distribution of Brittle Deformation in the Southern Central Range Taiwan: Constraints From Earthquakes and Mesoscale Faults,” which is the result of many years of research here at IUP. [Monday, Dec. 12, 5:15– 5:30 p.m. Moscone South Room 102]
- Cate Bressers (’17) and coauthors will present a poster titled “Reprocessing COCORP Seismic Reflection Data to Image Deep Crustal Structure in the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming,” which is work that she started on an off-campus summer Research Experience. [Friday, Dec. 16, 8:00–12:20 Moscone South Poster Hall # T51F-2990]
- Aaron Seidel and coauthors will present a poster titled “Application of Ground Penetrating Radar to Investigate Methane and Soil Carbon Dynamics at the Weyandt Environmental Monitoring Site in Western Pennsylvania,” from his ongoing local environmental geophysics research. [Tuesday, Dec. 13, 8:00–12:20, Moscone South Poster Hall # NS21B-1895]
- Jon Lewis and coauthors will present a poster titled “The Contribution of NE-SW Stretching To Exhumation of the Metamorphic Core of the Southern Central Range of Taiwan: Constraints from a Peak Temperature Proxy” [Tuesday, Dec. 14, 1:40–6:00 p.m. Moscone South Poster Hall # T23A-2900]. He is also co-author on a poster titled “Initial Results from the STEM Student Experiences Aboard Ships (STEMSEAS) Program,” which is reporting on the
STEMSEAS program he helped initiate in 2016. [Friday, Dec. 16, 8:00–12:20, Moscone South Poster Hall # ED51F-0837]
- Greg Mount and coauthors will present a poster titled “Characterizing Subsurface Lithology and Hydrological Processes at the Susquehanna Shale Hills CZO Using Multi-scale Near-surface Geophysical Measurements,” which details their ongoing work at the
Shale Hills Critical Zone Observatory here in Pennsylvania. [Thursday, Dec. 15, 1:40–6:00 p.m. Moscone South Poster Hall # EP43C-0983]. Greg is also part of a team presenting an invited talk on work in the Shale Hills CZO titled
“Quantifying the spatial variability in critical zone architecture through surface mapping and near-surface geophysics". [Thursday, Dec. 15, 8:00–8:15 a.m. Moscone West Room 2003]
There is also an IUP Geoscience Alumni Meetup scheduled for Thursday, December 15, at 6:30 p.m. See our
