Geology can't be studied without going outside. Whether you are interested in rock formations, archeology, petrology, or any of the other variety of topics under the umbrella of geology, you can only truly gain understanding by experiencing it first hand. Engaging the topic through research brings even more expertise on the subject and competency with the techniques applied in the various geology careers. Besides, who wouldn't want to spend most of their time outdoors instead of in a classroom? This is why we strive to make research one of our core distinctives.

The geology faculty enjoy facilitating students pursuing their own interests. Recent topics have included:

• Geochemistry of rocks in arrowheads
• Fossil excavations
  
• LIDAR and topographic mapping
  

Here at 51吃瓜网视频 we have a proven track record of transforming students into competent researchers. The process is straightforward and anyone can get involved!

Step 1 – Meet the research faculty!

Introduce yourself to one of the active research faculty and learn about their interests and ongoing projects.

Dr. Tim Walsh – Professor of geology – research interest include LIDAR

Step 2 – Pick a topic!

After meeting the faculty, was there anything that piqued your interest? Is there something you’ve always wanted to investigate that one of the faculty seem well-suited to help you learn the techniques? Meet again with that faculty member and see if they’d be willing to take you on as a research student.

Step 3 – Make a plan!

Do you want to do research during the semester? How much time can you spend? Discuss with your research adviser and sign up for MSCI 4103, 4203, or 4303 depending on the amount of time you can devote. Be sure to build this into your weekly schedule and stick with your plan!

Step 4 – Discover and share!

Under the mentorship of your research adviser, experiment, explore, and even learn how to overcome obstacles, disappointments, and failure on your way to making discoveries and enjoying the excitement of fulfilling your project. Once you achieve your project goals, you can present your work at scientific meetings, at the annual WBU Spring Research Day, or take MSCI 4360 Thesis and Presentation to write up and publish your work as an undergraduate thesis. It’s only science if it gets shared!
