During the month of June, me and my undergraduate students from SUNY Geneseo and students from SUNY Maritime working with Dr. Andy Michelson completed a successful field collection of six cores, two deep cores and four shallow cores! We are now working on processing the cores and are planning on presenting our preliminary findings at the national conference for the Geological Society of America in Portland.
