IUPUI Department of Earth Sciences

The Petrology class, led by Dr. Stuart Kenderes, enjoyed a field trip to the St Francois Mountains in southeast Missouri last weekend. They examined excellent rocks in their natural habitat and avoided the nasty weather. Perfect!

Congratulations to Martin Adjesah - named to the Elite50!!

We had a blast at GeoFest @ the IN State Museum today!

And after practicing on campus, our students gave oral and poster presentations at GSA this year and did an awesome job! Way to go Grace, Martin, Lior, Hong, Carissa, Mohammed, and Max! I might add that Dr. Nyarko is mentoring an amazing group of students studying geoscience education.

Congratulate Dr. Nyarko when you see him!
He just receive an award from the National Association of Geoscience teachers. His research focuses how we can use inclusive departmental and classroom practices to foster a sense of belonging, confidence and equity among ALL of our students

Congratulate Dr. Wang when you see him!
The Paul A. Witherspoon lecture recognizes significant and innovative contributions by middle-career scientists to the hydrologic sciences through research aimed at socially important problems and through mentoring of young scientists.

We are excited to welcome our newest class of MS and PhD students to the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. We already sense great things are in store for this talented group of people!
