Matthew Beckwith-Laube (2004) Diligenty worked on extending the tree-ring record from Columbia Bay. He presented the results of his work at two meetings - the national meeting of the Geological Society of America and the Arctic Workshop in Boulder Colorado.

Megan Kennedy (2003) worked on detailed reconstruction of ice margin positions over the last 1000 years at Columbia Bay, Alaska.

Suzanne Lucas (2003) travelled to Alaska during the summer of 2002. She is working on tree-ring dating of Medieval Warm Period forests in the Kenai Fjords National Park.

Clint Bailey (2003) traveled to Alaska during the summer of 2001 and is putting together a study of the land-terminating glacier in Columbia Bay. Clint has put together The Columbia Glacier web page.

Ryan McAllister (2000) did Senior Independent Study work on the Tana Dunes in the Wrangell Mountains of Alaska. By looking at the trees overrun by the dune, he was hoping to piece together the mechanism(s) for dune reactivation.

Kirk Lapham's (2001) research entailed the development of a thousand-year chronology of glacial advance and retreat through tree rings of the Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Aaron Shear (2001) also did some research on the Columbia Glacier. His work was focused on interpreting dendrochronological data to determine the environmental factors of advance and retreat of the Columbia Glacier in Alaska.

James Martin (2003) participated in the Keck Glacial Ohio 2002 project and is working on a sediment core from Columbiana County, Ohio.

Clint Bailey (2003) worked on the Keck Glacial Ohio 2002 Project and is working on a sediment core from Brown's Lake Bog, Wayne County, Ohio for his Independent Study.

Leigh Hutchison (2003, Biology) completed a tutorial entitled The Biological Basis of Tree Rings. As part of the course Leigh sampled old growth oaks on The College of Wooster campus.

Scott Bagocious (2002) worked with the Keck Glacial 2001 project and is investigating the record of environmental change as recorded in lakes and bogs in Ohio.

Russell Kohrs (2001) did some work in Johnson Woods located in nearby Orrville, Ohio. His objective was to expand on research done in 1985 on old-growth oak trees. (There are also some excellent pictures on this page!)
