Geological Sciences RESEARCH PROJECTS Research work is primarily concerned with the distribution of trace elements and heavy metals in soils, sediments and plants including the biological consequences of unusual accumulations of these elements, especially Ag, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn. Projects have included field studies, laboratory experimentation, plant growth studies and computer interpretation of data. Special emphasis has been put on baseline surveys and contamination problems in lead mining and smelting areas and pollution from paint and vehicles in urban areas. Studies of trace elements have also included the possibility that human health may be adversely affected by the transfer of these elements through food chains. This has been investigated by cooperating with epidemiologists working together in the same geographical areas. In January, 1985 took over the editorship of Environmental Geochemistry and Health, a quarterly international journal which provides a forum for publishing geochemical results of interest to workers in the animal or human health fields or for epidemiological investigations with environmental chemistry implications. This is published by Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, Netherlands. RESEARCH VISITS OVERSEAS International conferences have been attended in Netherlands (1973, 1986), USSR (1974), Canada (1975), Japan (1977, 1990), Greece (1982), Germany (1983), USA (1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991,1993,1994,1995), Italy (1987), Taiwan (1994), Austria (1999), Hong Kong (1998, 2000), Australia (2001).

Links - Student Opportunities - Letter to Prospective Students Dear Prospective Graduate Students, There are abundant opportunities for graduate research in structural geology and tectonics in the Department of Geological Sciences at Ohio State University . I am always looking for enthusiastic and adventurous students to join my research group. Student funding is potentially available as either a Graduate Research Associate, funded by grant funds from organizations such as National Science Foundation or NASA, via fellowships offered by Ohio State, or as a graduate teaching associate through the Department of Geological Sciences. Most of my students have support as both a research associate and a teaching associate during their graduate student tenure, as it is advantageous to gain experience in both teaching and research. The Dept. of Geological Sciences currently has about 50 graduate students, who have come here from all over the U.S. and many different countries in the world. We have a large range of excellent new facilities at our disposal, housed in our newly renovated building on the main campus as well as at the Byrd Polar Research Center. The department is in the process of hiring several new faculty members, which will enhance the scope of research and course offerings in our department. Columbus, Ohio, is an interesting place to live and the Ohio State University has a lively and active campus.

Coastal Geology: Research I Publications I Maps I Presentations I Personnel I Education I Photo Gallery Estuarine Systems I Inner Shelf/Nearshore Systems I Tidal Marsh Systems I Sea Level Changes and Tidal Flooding Estuarine Systems: Sedimentary Environments, Stratigraphic Characteristics, Holocene Evolution, and Anthrophogenic Impacts As the human population continues to move to the coast to live and work, anthropogenic pressures on coastal water bodies will increase to even higher levels than exist today. This is especially true of one of the earth’s most important ecosystems – estuaries. Consequently, research that aids in understanding the geologic development, the fundamental physical processes influencing sedimentation and water quality, and the influence of climate or sea level change on estuaries is essential. Historically, UNH has had significant strength in geologically based research in these areas. Since the early 1990s we have conducted studies of bottom sediment characteristics, coarse- and fine-grained sedimentation processes, shallow stratigraphic relationships, physical characteristics of the water column, and the sources and controls of suspended sediments. These studies have been conducted primarily in estuarine systems in New Hampshire (Great Bay and Hampton/Seabrook Estuaries) and southern Maine (Webhanet River Estuary). Examples of recent research in estuarine systems include the following.

Geology R and D Grants Create Offshore Opportunities Dr. Georgia Pe-Piper Geology professor Dr. Georgia Pe-Piper is bringing Saint Mary's into the competitive circle of offshore oil and gas industry research. With a recently announced $243,123 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) collaborative re-search and development grant she and her team of colleagues and students are tracking down geological clues to assist in the discovery of oil and gas reservoirs. "The oil and gas industry would like to see more petroleum related education and research in Atlantic Canada universities," says Dr. Pe-Piper. "I believe that carrying out such research will benefit the education of our students and the access they have to future jobs in the oil industry." Dr. Pe-Piper says that a lot of opportunities exist because the petroleum industry is anxious to see more research conducted locally in fields that Saint Mary's has niche expertise including geology. "There are opportunities in petroleum chemistry, environmental studies, and spatial analysis," she says. "In the faculties of Commerce and Arts, there are different opportunities in resource use conflicts, assessing the impact of industry on coastal communities, and marketing." Dr. Pe-Piper with Dr Ralph Stea of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Dr. David Piper, Georgia's husband, a Saint Mary's adjunct professor and geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic) will be involved in research that focuses on sands in central Nova Scotia called the Chaswood Formation. They are equivalent to the offshore sands and sandstones in which the Sable project gas reservoirs are found.

Geology professor Karen Havholm approached the students with an idea for a research project that studied the depositional environment of the Hinckley Sandstone, which can be found in outcrops along the Kettle River, just north of Hinckley, Minn. Beaster and Kohn met during a field course, Geology 343, with Havholm and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. Havholm worked with them to map out the project and showed them how to get started on their field research, said Beaster, a senior geology major. "She introduced us to the equipment and the techniques used in field geology," said Beaster. "But after that we were mostly on our own." Beaster and Kohn worked on the presentation of their project until midnight the night before Student Research Day at UW-Eau Claire, where they took first place in the natural sciences division.

Information for On-Campus Sponsors 2005-2006 Project Year Home Student-Faculty Research Projects From the beginning, the Consortium program focused on yearlong research experiences for rising seniors. The purpose of the program is simple: to provide students with a research experience that encompasses the entire problem-solving process. Students learn the overall problem, identify an individual part of the problem for their own project, gather and interpret data, and present results at a professional style symposium. Part of the symposium experience is submission of an expanded, four-page abstract for publication in the Symposium Proceedings The experience of submitting an abstract gives the students a taste for the technical editing process, including incorporating editorial changes suggested by reviewers (in this case, faculty sponsors and project directors) as well as preparing a manuscript to meet specific formatting requirements. Much of the work done by advanced students following their summer field experience is accomplished at the home institution under the guidance of an on-campus sponsor. The Consortium recognized from the beginning the importance of these sponsors in the overall quality of the final research results.

A Final Note about Independent Study / Research INDEPENDENT STUDY / RESEARCH AND DEPARTMENTAL HONORS: GUIDELINES Independent Study vs. Independent Research Planning is an important part of any research project: the best time to start developing an independent research project is the early spring of the junior year. This allows time to plan equipment, software, travel, and other needs. and to prepare proposals to obtain funds to cover those needs. In order to make the most of the semester or academic year, some students choose to start the initial development and data/sample collection of their project over the summer, especially if travel to field sites or other institutions is necessary. To facilitate summer and academic year research, there are a number of sources of funding which students are encouraged to explore. FUNDS FOR RESEARCH Departmental - Henry Hanson Research Prize In Geology: Endowed by friends, family and former students of Professor Henry Hanson. Awarded to the rising sophomore, junior or senior who, by determination of the Geology Department faculty through a written application process, has demonstrated initiative, curiosity, creativity and promise in the field of geology.
