New team members

Welcome to new Graduate student Garrett Mitchell! Garrett was an undergraduate here a Maryland, who obtained a double major in Geography and Geology (with honors) and decided to stay a fifth year to obtain a combined BS/MS in Geology. Garrett and Marci Occhi are the first combined Geology BS/MS student!

Current Appointments

I have the honor of serving on the following committees

Ridge2000 Steering Committee

AGU Information Technology Committee
