Undergrad Joshua Townsend receives grant from UROP
 Joshua
Townsend just received a $1000 grant from the IUPUI Undergraduate
Research Opportunities Program (UROP)
for his proposal titled “Geochemistry and Geochronology of Glacial Till
form Mt. Howe, East Antarctica”. In 2007, Joshua's advisor,
Associate Professor
Kathy Licht, along with a team of scientists including recent
graduate Kate
Kramer (M.S. 2008) and IUPUI alum
Eric Hiatt (B.S.
1988) collected the samples Josh will be working on during a successful
Antarctic field season. The aim of the project is to better understand
Antarctica's sub-glacial geology while using the composition of glacial
till to trace ice flow paths during the last ice age.
