St. Norbert College geology faculty, alumnus to present at 119th annual Geological Society Of America meeting
Oct. 27- 31
St. Norbert College geology professors Tim Flood, Nelson Ham, and Elizabeth Gordon, and alumnus and current University of Minnesota graduate student Dan Costello (’07) will be presenting at the 119th annual Geological Society of America meeting at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado, from Oct. 27 – 31.
The Geological Society of America meeting is intended to help geologists keep current in their individual fields by communicating works in progress with other experts. Approximately 6300 geoscientists are expected to attend the event.
Flood, Ham and Gordon will present their findings on using geological field trips as a tool for recruiting non-geology-major students involved in introductory courses to enter the geology field.
Costello and Flood will present Costello’s senior thesis from St. Norbert College on findings about mineral chemistry in the Duluth Complex of northern Minnesota.
For more information on St. Norbert College’s involvement in the event, contact Tim Flood at (920) 403-1356 or via email at tim.flood@snc.edu.
