The Senior Program

The Senior Program in geosciences is a two-semester course in which majors plan and pursue an independent senior project under the close supervision of at least one faculty member. The senior project is an integrating, culminating experience that draws on the skills and knowledge acquired in the first three years; for many students, it represents graduate-level work.

Recent projects in geosciences include:

  • Investigating Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions in Oriskany Creek in Clinton, NY
  • Geochronology and Paleo-magmatic Implications of Granitic Plutons of Swans Island, Maine
  • Strain Analysis of Lineations in the East Pilbara Craton’s “Zone of Sinking”, a Critical Structure in the Early Earth
  • Early Miocene Paleosols of Loperot and Buluk, Turkana Basin, Kenya: Geochemistry and Paleoenvironmental Implications
  • A Petrological Study of Hofsjökull, Central Iceland
