Applied Geophysics Class
March 4th was a beautiful day for a refraction survey on the South Oval! Prof. Cook’s Applied Geophysics class was led by Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and Ohio State PhD student Daniel Blake on refraction survey planning and collection. The students were trying to image the height of the water table – they will find out if it worked when they process the data this week.
Alum Rowan McLachlan and Professor Andréa Grottoli have one of the top 100 downloaded papers from Scientific Reports for 2022!
Alum Rowan McLachlan and Professor Andréa Grottoli were recently notified that their article, Physiological acclimatization in Hawaiian corals following a 22-month shift in baseline seawater temperature and pH received 4173 article downloads in 2022, placing it as one of the top 100 downloaded Earth, Environment and Ecology papers for Scientific Reports in 2022. Scientific Reports published more than 3150 Earth, Environment and Ecology papers in 2022, and so a position in the top 100 most downloaded articles is an extraordinary achievement.
Professor Matt Saltzman awarded Fulbright
SES Professor Matt Saltzman has won a Fulbright US Scholar Award to conduct research in South Korea in the 2023-2024 academic year. Saltzman will be hosted by Yonsei University and Professor Sanghoon Kwon and will collaborate with faculty at Seoul National University (Drs. Youngsook Huh, Jusun Woo, Min Sub Sim). Some of the world’s best preserved Early Paleozoic rocks occur in the Taebaek Mountains of South Korea, and the goal of the Fulbright project is to determine the causes of a prominent climate transition from an ice-free to an ice-covered world 450 million years ago. Fulbright Scholar Awards provide unique opportunities for faculty to live and conduct research with collaborators in other countries and play a key role in U.S. public diplomacy by establishing long-term relationships between people and nations.
