A team of researchers lead by Paleobotanist Bonnie Jacobs and Sedimentologist Neil Tabor, both of SMU, returned to northwestern Ethiopia in late December 2007 to collect additional plant fossils and gain a more thorough understanding of their geological context.
Master's student Chris Strganac, doctoral student Yosuke Nishida and Professor Louis Jacobs traveled to Antarctica to discover 120 million-year-old mammal fossils from Livingston Island and other places around the Antarctic Peninsula.
Robert, a 2005 graduate in dance and geological sciences, attended Geology Field Camp at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks.
Katherine is majoring in geology and environmental chemistry. She will be blogging from Geology Field Camp in Turkey.
