Current and Recent Research and Student Projects

Research Students are currently conducting research on several projects, using the equipment of the rock-and paleomagnetism laboratory and the facilities of the Environmental Sciences Program.  My active and  most projects are listed below. Research students involved in these projects are listed in italics.

Ongoing projects:

  • Paleoclimatic studies of lake sediments in Manitoba (Pooja Shakya '11)
     
  • Determining the rates of magnetic enhancement from rapidly eroding loessic soils. (Chamae Munroe '10)
     
  • Quantification of antiferromagnetic minerals in soils using a combination of magnetic and non-magnetic techniques (W. Colby Tucker '09)
     
  • Paleoclimatic reconstructions for the Brady Soil (Emily Quinton '11, Pooja Shakja '11)
     
  • The influence of climate on loessic soils in the midwestern United Sates (Jim Bisbee '05, Daniel Scollan '05, Jenny Gragg '07, Alex Masi '08, Saroj Aryal '09, Chamae Munroe '10)

Past projects:
