Congrats to Ran He for receiving a Evolving Earth Foundation graduate student research grant to conduct field work in Wyoming this summer and to travel to the USGS Core Repository Center in Denver to sample siderite from the Paleocene!

Congrats to Kate Meyers for receiving both a SEPM Graduate Student Research Grant AND the NASA Pennsylvania Space Consortium Graduate Fellowship!

I haven't kept up with the papers coming out of the group, but we've had one paper on phosphate concentrations on some of the oldest carbonate platforms on Earth, and what this might mean for the origins of life: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2022GL098100

Another paper out on the climatic and tectonic controls on giant stromatolite formation in the Eocene Green River Formation: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/sed.12967
