Congratulations to Olaniyi Ajadi, Casey Denny, Alex Rizzo, Rachel Frohman, Tyson Forbush and their UAF advisor, Dr. Catherine Hanks.  Our UAF IBA Team won first place in the AAPG Pacific region competition.  The team will be representing UAF and the Pacific section at the upcoming international IBA competition at the annual AAPG meeting in Pittsburgh in May.

The UAF team would like to thank their industry mentors, Sandy Phillips and Ashley Siks.
 

Congratulations to Erin Pettit for winning the Department of Geology and Geophysics Outstanding Teacher award for 2011-2012. Erin is recognized for her outstanding efforts in innovative course design, development, and delivery. Excellent teachers like Erin make the UAF Department of Geology and Geophysics an excellent place for undergraduate and graduate studies in the Geosciences.
