Welcome to new student Abigail Nalesnik, who is starting a Master’s degree in Geological Sciences at the University of Delaware. Abby completed her undergraduate degree at Salisbury University in eastern Maryland, with a major in Earth Science and minors in Biology and Geography.
Congratulations to former UD postdoc Kendra J. Lynn on her move to the U.S. Geological Survey as a Research Geologist at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory! Find out more about Kendra’s research here.

We’re back from cruise AT42-20, with lots of rocks!
Follow us on Twitter @4CASTGofar (4D Characterization of Aseismic and Seismic Transients at Gofar – thanks to co-PI Emily Roland for a great acronym)!
We set sail at 1600 on Nov 16th from San Diego!
A new phase of seismic experiments on Gofar Transform Fault begins this week as we set sail on the R/V Atlantis to deploy seismometers and dredge for rocks. This project builds on the successful 2007-2008 Gofar-Discovery-Quebrada experiment (McGuire et al., 2012; Roland et al. 2012). Lead PI for this NSF-funded project is Margaret Boettcher, with […]
UD Undergraduate Raphael Affinito spent part of last summer looking at deformation fabrics in melt-bearing peridotites from the Josephine Peridotite in Oregon. He is presenting the results of his summer research in the AGU Virtual Poster Showcase this fall. You can view it here or download the poster here.
