WISCONSIN GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY Monday October 13th, 2008 7:00 pm at the Church Hall (click on Church Hall to see location) WGS Vice President Bob Bialecki has arranged to have one of the winners of a grant for their college work in the Geosciences, Lindsey Henry, give a presentation on "Climate Change in the Late Paleozoic Ice Age." Guests are welcome -- Hope to see you there!
Here is a picture of Lindsey and description of her research from the UW-M website:  My thesis project focuses on the Agua de Jagüel formation within the Calingasta-Uspallata basin in northwest Argentina. The stratigraphy of the formation exhibits the transition from glacial to post-glacial conditions for the second of three glacial successions over Gondwana during the late Paleozoic Gondwanan ice age. For my field work, I will gather information to determine the style and dynamics of the glacial environment, as well as the nature of the change from a glacial to a post-glacial setting. Such research will help to decipher the climatic history of the region and provide an understanding of how the glaciation in Argentina correlates with the overall glaciation of Gondwana.
