Kaitlyn Gerstler is a junior geology major in my research group, she has just been awarded a well-deserved award to study the Schweriner See at the University of Greifswald’s Institute for Geography and Geology in Greifswald, Germany. She will be spending her summer researching the lake sediments in the Schweriner See to observe the human impact and environmental change of one of Germany’s largest lakes. Congratulations Kaitlyn!
