Student Opportunities

I am always looking for motivated students to join my research team. If you are interested in working with me, please contact me with your research interests, and see my Undergraduate Research Contract.

If you are interested in cave geology, please be aware that much of this fieldwork requires intense physical exertion. You will get very, very dirty, and you may be in (very) confined spaces with spiders, bats, and other creatures. For your own safety and the safety of others, you must be in good physical condition and not suffer from claustrophobia. Rock-climbing skills are a definite plus.



For those of you who are not interested in going underground, I have plenty of above-ground fieldwork that I need help with, and plenty of lab work (SEM, CL, XRD, and ICP-OES) that you are more than welcome to participate in.
