Trivia Night (GeoClub)

As #GeoClub President, I put on a Trivia Night--Grads vs Undergrads. We held the trivia fundraiser event shortly after the last day of the URC. For questions, I collected all the tests and quizzes from all of the range of classes held at UC Davis. I took the Geology section questions from the test materials and then made another category of Pop Culture and Recent Events. Wow, let me tell you it was intense!

We had such a great turn out that it was hard to get everyone's attention when taking the photo! I think everyone had a good time, and in the end the #undergrads won!

Undergraduate Research Conference 2019

#UCDavis #URC

My abstract was accepted and I got to present my part of the research at the Undergraduate Research Conference! My presentation focused on my portion of the research which aims to correlate fluctuation of Mg, Sr, and Ba with seasonal changes. We also wanted to look at the role El Niño storms play in affecting the stalagmite record.

This was a great event, I had my family there, and all of the members of my lab as well. I was also lucky to also have friends near me, Danielle and Tracy, whom I had met at UC Davis and Solano Community College, respectively. I also was excited to see other Geology students presenting their research as well, such as: Maria Huitron-Ramirez, Sophia Stuart, James Rees, Danielle Kinkel, and Huy Le. Ellie Brumage of the same research group also presented her part on trace elements being used to timeline large fire events.

Picnic Day 2019

Picnic Day 2019 at UC Davis. GeoClub walked in the parade and collaborated with AIPG Club to have a fundraiser booth. We sold club t-shirts, fossils found at recent field trips (trilobites, misc minerals, and crystal-shaped soaps).
