Jody is happy to be looking at Mid Continent Rift basalts in MN for a class fieldtrip.

Jody finished her BA in Geosciences in 2007. She and her research partner Jason Friedrich studied small scale faults and joints associated with the Waukesha Fault in Southeastern Wisconsin.

Melissa (in pink) presenting her poster at GSA in Salt Lake City.

Melissa finished her BS in 2006. She worked on an independent project to study fabric formation. She used the same deformed conglomerates that Darlene studied to document fabric foliation at various degrees of strain. She was particularly interested in the role of competence contrasts in fabric formation.For more information, go to Melissa’s GSA abstract from Salt Lake City 2005.

Since graduating, Melissa has been gainfully employed as a geoscientist in Minnesota.
