Take a minute to tell us and your fellow alumni what you are up to.
I'm currently working towards my PhD at UNLV with Eugene Smith. My research focuses on the petrogenesis of the Death Valley Volcanic Field and its relation to the Lunar Crater-Crater Flat Volcanic Belt and hazard assessment of the surrounding region. (7/22/2008)
Since I graduated in January 2007, I have been working at James Madison University (http://www.jmu.edu/geology/). I have been teaching oceanography and earth systems, and doing some research on the Delmarva Peninsula. (7/22/2008)

Jenn utilized and developed microanalytical techniques to study bulk rocks, minerals, and melt inclusions in order to understand the transfer of volatile species and trace elements in subduction zones while at BU. Now a Research Chemist at the Library of Congress, she is using her experience with micro-sampling and non-destructive analyses to develop new methods of studying national treasures and artifacts, including (among other things) daguerreotype photographs, ancient Mexican ceramics, and Japanese colorants. Jenn's current email address is jwad@loc.gov. (7/14/2008)
