From learning 30 types of corals to tracing algae on Adobe Illustrator, my first research experience included fieldwork, gathering samples, traveling abroad, analysis, and invaluable friendships. If you'd told me that my first research experience would include all of that, I wouldn’t have believed you! This experience wasn’t just about learning skills—it was about becoming part of something bigge…

If you had asked me one year ago where I thought I would be this summer, I doubt I would have said slogging up a stream-bed in knee-deep mud, searching for springs. It was an experience I’ll never forget. The post Oreos, Kittens, Springs appeared first on Keck Geology Consortium .

Three weeks for three different locations. And 105 total springs. To say I didn’t know what to expect when I accepted my offer from Keck is an understatement—I had never been west of Pennsylvania, and never had I ever seen so much water.

Have you ever wanted to fly? Well, diving made me feel like I was soaring. There is a whole world under the water and for a brief amount of time, I was a part of it. As the summer is coming to a close and school is quickly approaching, I wanted to share the experience of my first college research through the Keck Geology Consortium Coral research project. The post Can You Belize It? appeared fir…

I applied to the Glacier National Park REU not knowing what to fully expect and I’m so glad that I did. What I really loved about this trip is how much I learned about myself through things I did and experienced.

Glacier National Park, Montana saw almost three million visitors over the course of its open season in 2023, most headed for attractions like the famous Going-to-the-Sun-Road, the iconic Many Glacier Hotel, and natural spectacles such as the wildlife, alpine scenery, and glacial lakes. As a student researcher staying in the Park for several weeks this summer, I had the opportunity to meet a lot o…

Without having any camping experience, being a good swimmer, or having any prior outdoor experience, I am able to say I DID IT! The post Slipping into the Deep End appeared first on Keck Geology Consortium .

My first day in the field, I felt a bit like a moth in the daytime. Surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds, and creatures (fellow Keck students included), I felt completely out of my element and like I was being pulled in every direction possible.

Have you ever been 20 feet away from a 500 pound grizzly bear? Have you seen the whites of its eyes as it charges at you with the speed of a car? Did you feel the slow trickle of pee go down your leg as you stood there, frozen still? Me neither!! The post Aura Reading in Glacier National Park appeared first on Keck Geology Consortium .

I have always loved camping and national parks, so getting to do both alongside some stellar and likeminded companions was a phenomenal experience. The post Camping: Sleeping Under the Stars (and Rain)! appeared first on Keck Geology Consortium .
