Geology Research Highlight

Hugh Harper and Dr. Ellen Cowan (Geology Department) are imaging the surface texture of quartz sand grains with SEM and EDS to determine the glacial history of iceberg rafted grains recovered during IODP drilling from the Gulf of Alaska. The outline of each grain is also used to calculate grain roughness using Fourier analysis.
