Congratulations to recent MS graduate Falyn Strey who will be teaching at her alma mater, UW-Oshkosh this fall!
Nancy Carman’s MS thesis is now available online through UWM’s Digital Commons. Check out her work!
After a (too) long hiatus, I was happy to be out in the field last week in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee MS student Eric Schuemann (seen here hard at work) and our colleagues… Read More
Congratulations to Falyn Strey who successfully defended her MS thesis today! Her thesis title is “Fluid flow and deformation: exploring the relationships between fluid flow, deformation mechanisms, quartz crystallographic preferred orientation fabric development, and kinematics in the Willard thrust fault,… Read More
