Dr. Liliana Lefticariu talks about her latest work researching the stable isotopes of elements and what relevance this has for education and training.

William R. Kipp, a senior geology major, will use stable isotope analysis in his REACH project titled “Rare Earth Element Distribution in Fluorite From Around Hick’s Dome.”  His faculty mentor is Liliana Lefticariu, assistant professor of geology.

Dr. Greg Whitledge studies otolith stable isotope and elemental compositions as indicators of fish environmental history.
