Ohio University Geological Sciences undergraduate student Eric W. Gibbs presented a poster on “An Assessment of Peak Broadening in XRD Spectra from Limestones of the Jeptha Knob Structure, Shelby County, KY,” in October at the Geological Society of America in Vancouver, British Columbia. His co-author was Dr. Keith Milam, Associate […]

When geologists wanted to test drilling equipment for an Apollo mission in the 1960s, they used a crater in Tennessee. Fifty years later, those samples are providing Dr. Keith Milam a look back into a ancient time when meteorites pummeled the Earth. “Back when Wisconsin and western Russia once shared […]

  Graduate student Proma Basu presented a poster on studying the proteins plants express as they are exposed to gravitational changes in spaceflight and upon reorientation to the Earth’s gravitational pull on Oct. 25 at the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research. Her co-author on Proteomics Analysis of Plants […]

Undergraduate student Zachary Hall presented a poster on identifying a genetic mutation in the small, mustard-like plant that allows Ohio University researchers to study the gravitational effect on the plant. The research on Identification of the Gene Defective in gravity persistence signal (gps) 6 of Arabidopsis thaliana was co-authored by […]

October 2014 Geological Sciences Newsletter To understand ancient life, scientists often look to modern organisms for lessons in extinct ecosystems and environments. And there are many unanswered questions. “In most instances, the only way for paleontologists to address questions related to the life activities of extinct taxa is to investigate […]

October 2014 Geological Sciences Newsletter Members of Dr. Alycia Stigall’s lab—involving more than a dozen graduate and undergraduate students over the past three years—are capitalizing on a newly donated collection of Late Ordovician fossils to build a digital collection and online. The Stigall lab efforts are focused on building a […]
