Mark Behn is a Ph.D. Candidate in the MIT-WHOI program. He recently
received a Dept. of Defense fellowship. He is also going to sea this
summer to the Mid Atlantic Ridge to do some seismic experiments. His team
leaves from Ft. Lauderdale and will end up in Azores. They will be at sea
for the entire month of June. Email him at:
mbehn@mit.edu

Matt Arsenault plans to (probably) work for Kevex Instruments, makers
of the Kevex SuperDry on the SEM downstairs of Carnegie. He then plans
to attend Graduate School for Oceanography in the Fall of 1998. Email
him at: marsenau@abacus.bates.edu

Class of
'95
James Hogan is in his second year of the PhD program in the Earth
Sciences Department at Dartmouth College. His advisor is Dr. Joel Blum,
and together they are working on application of the stable isotopes of
boron and lithium as environmental tracers. Currently they are trying to
use them as a groundwater tracer for both natural and anthropogenically
contaminated systems. He has recently received funding for this work
through a graduate fellowship from the EPA. Email him at: james.hogan@dartmouth.edu
Brook Mullens, ?
Laurie Berkowitz, ?
Class of
'94
Matthew J. Grove is currently a PhD student at Duke University in
the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences. He is working for Dr. Paul
Baker on a project in the Altiplano of Bolivia-Peru. Their primary focus
is paleoclimatic reconstruction from geochemical signals in sediments
from Lake Titicaca. Mr. Grove is also involved in research on the modern and
paleohydrology of the region using stable isotopes (Sr, O) to model
hydrologic changes. Email him at: mgrove@geo.duke.edu
Jenna-Marie McClintock is a full-time student at Columbia University -
Teachers College (New York, NY) getting an M.A. in Secondary School
Science Education. She will be certified in Earth Science. Currently,
she is student teaching 8th grade Earth Science in a NYC public school and
finishing her coursework. She will graduate in July and be a certified
teacher by this upcoming September. Email her at: jm463@columbia.edu
Beth Holland is working for an environmental-geology firm in the
Boston area.
Class of
'93
Noah Snyder is a geomorphology graduate student in the Department
of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT. His doctoral
research is on rates and processes of bedrock erosion. For this project,
he studies bedrock rivers in the King Range of northern California, the
Alaska Penninsula, and the Finger Lakes of New York. He also participates
in on-going MIT field research on the tectonic history of the Death Valley
area. Email him at: noah@darla.mit.edu.
Class of
'92
Steve Peters currently lives in Hanover, New Hampshire, and is in
Dartmouth's Ph.D. program in Earth Sciences. After graduating from Bates
in 1992, Steve worked for the Appalachain Mountain Club as the Huts Field
Supervisor for three years before starting graduate studies in 1995. His
primary interest is in the area of toxic trace metals, and how they move
in natural systems. This includes the fields of aqueous geochemistry,
hydrologic models, limnology, and epidemiology. Current research
interests include:
arsenic concentration and speciation in groundwaters
tracemetal (Hg, As, Cd, Cr) cycling in New England Lakes
lead isotope systems applied to soils and sediments

Peter Jonathan Friedman is a commercial pilot for USAir Express, out
of lebanon , NH. He has been flying for approximately three years, but
before that he was teaching some high school chemistry in a private
boarding school in Mass and teaching chemistry and geology in a community
college in New Mexico. He has not been doing any geologic research since
summer of '92 when I did some work for INSTARR, a organization that works
on Arctic research. Email him at: PFriedman@valley.net
Class of
'91
Unknown class
Beth L. Widmann is finishing MS at Colorado School of Mines. Email
her at: widmann@juno.com
Jon Child began working at Fuss & O'Neill two years ago, after
completing the MS program in Geology at UMass, where he met his wife.
They have been married for 6 months and they will try to settle somewhere
in the Northampton - Amherst area. Jon works for Fuss & O'Neill, Inc.,
working as a Hydrogeologist on site assessments and site remediation
(generally at petroleum contaminated sites) and some environmental
permitting. The company consists of both civil and environmental
engineers and geologist which means we do alot of different things (new
bridge design, tank pulls, roadway reconstruction, wastewater treatment,
site assessments, site remediation, etc.). Check out his resumé.
Kim Marsella is currently finishing her Master's of Science at UVM.
Her research is in the Pangnirtung Fjord are on Baffin Island in the
Canadian Arctic. The title of her thesis is "Timing and extent of
glaciation on southern Baffin Island: determined using cosmogenic isotopes
10-Be and 26-Al." She spent seven weeks hiking around, collecting
samples, and mapping; then dating glacial landforms (morainal boulders and
striated bedrock) using a farily new technique, cosmogenic isotopes, and
she revised the glacial chronology in this area. Last fall, she talked
about the results of her thesis at the GSA meeting in Denver, and actually
chaired the session on Quaternary Glacial Events. She had just submitted
a paper to Geology and am working on a GSA Bulletin paper. She took last
semester off to TA a field course in Washington State and then spent time
doing some stuff in the desert - Death Valley, Owens Valley, Joshua Tree,
and Zion National Park. This semester she will be teaching 3 Geo 1 labs
again. She will be finished in May, and is planning on taking time off
before a possible Ph.D. Email her at: kmarsell@zoo.uvm.edu, or visit web
sites about the Cosmogenic Isotope Lab at UVM and her research
