Scholar Biography:
I am currently a junior Geology major at Indiana State University. While all areas of Geology interest me I am focused on Paleoceanography and after I graduate in 2010 I intend on earning my Ph.D. in Geology. My intended research project will involve studying living Benthic Foraminifera in the Monterrey Bay, California methane seep areas. I am currently a member of The German Oberlander Club of Terre Haute and also serve as Vice-president of Indiana State University’s Earth Science Club.
