Paleoclimatology Undergrad research project: Fall 2016-Spring 2017

An undergraduate research project is available beginning Fall 2016 (or as early as summer 2016) with Dr. Jessica Conroy, Department of Geology and Department of Plant Biology.

The project will investigate the geochemistry and physical properties of lake sediment cores taken from pools and lakes at Cara Bianca, Belize, a Classic Maya site containing a water temple and settlement. Working closely with archaeologists, we will investigate the local climate and environment of this region over the past ~2,000 years.
