EES major Joel Hara '16 of Hebron was one of the students that attended along with EES Professors Drew Hyatt, Peter Drzewiecki, Bryan Oakley and Steve Nathan. "Undergraduate research is one of the cornerstones of the work we do as faculty mentors. It offers our students an opportunity to apply classroom studies to real-world problems, and is an important part of training students to be independent, competent scientists," said Oakley.

Established in 1888, the GSA provides access to elements that are essential to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors - academic, government, business and industry. The society's growing membership unites thousands of earth scientists from every corner of the globe in a common purpose to study the planet earth and beyond, as well as share related scientific findings.
