Muskingum Geology student, faculty member to present in Oregon
A Muskingum sophomore and Geology professor have been invited to travel to Oregon over fall break to present their work at the Geological Society of America’s (GSA) annual meeting in Portland.
Elizabeth M. Bullard, a geology major from Chardon, Ohio, and Assistant Professor of Geology Dr. David Rodland will present “Shell Size and Sclerobiont Colonization: Area Effects on Encrustation and Boring Frequency, Abundance, Diversity and Recruitment in Hard-Substrate Communities.”
Schlerobionts are organisms that colonize the skeletl remains of other creatures, and the study focuses on what can be learned from this activity in various environments, according to a university press release.
