Achievements
Jasper Oshun
Geology
Jasper Oshun received a Fulbright Award to teach hydrogeology at a university in Lima and conduct water resources research in collaborations with communities in the region of Cusco. The teaching and research will occur between February and July of 2022.
Mary Ann Madej
Geology
Mary Ann Madej, Adjunct faculty, published a summary of 50 years of geomorphic research in Redwood National Park:
Redwood Creek watershed studies: Summary of geomorphic research at Redwood National Park. Natural Resource Report. NPS/REDW/NRR—2021/2228.
Jasper Oshun, Margaret Lang
Geology
Jasper Oshun and Margaret Lang published an article in the February issue of AAPG Explorer. The article, which details the positive and lasting impacts of their 'Bonanza en los Andes' project to HSU students, the community of Zurite, and hydrogeologic science was featured on the cover. A link to a pdf of the issue is below:

Jasper Oshun, Margaret Lang, Wyeth Wunderlich
Geology
Thanks to Will Goldenberg and SPF for putting together a great video highlighting our water development work in Perú: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Cz0rVMWDYE. Thanks to Jazmin Sandoval and Nathalie Rivera (Film), Yojana Miraya (Env. & Com.), and Laurel Smith (ERE) for collecting footage.
Dr. Laura Levy
Geology
Dr. Laura Levy, in collaboration with 11 co-authors, published "Multi-phased deglaciation of south and southeast Greenland controlled by climate and topographic setting" in the journal Quaternary Science Reviews. This comprehensive study tracked the timing of retreat of the Greenland Ice Sheet since the last ice age in an area of Greenland that is especially sensitive to climate change.
Jasper Oshun, Margaret Lang, Yojana Miraya
Geology
Dr. Oshun gave an invited talk at the 1ST INTERNATIONAL GEOGRAPHY CONGRESS OF APURIMAC IN SOUTHERN REGION PERU on August 28th. The title of the talk was, "Bonanza en los Andes: Estudio de los recursos de agua y desarrollo en colaboración con la comunidad de Zurite, Anta," and focused on Dr. Oshun and Dr. Lang's water development project in Perú. Successes so far include the construction of 1.5 km of irrigation canals, 4 student presentations at international geology conferences, and over 20 involved undergraduate and graduate students from HSU.

Received "Exemplary Teaching Activity" award from the National Association of Geology Teachers for co-authored "Rupture of Continental Lithosphere Mini-lesson Sequence"
Laura Levy
Geology
Received a Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activities Program (RSCA) grant for $4980 to purchase equipment for her new Paleoclimate Lab.
Wyeth Wunderilch, Edward Davis, Jasper Oshun, Margaret Lang
Geology
Jasper Oshun and two HSU students presented at the American Geophysical Union Annual Conference in San Francisco. The work is part of a Geoscientists Without Borders Award directed by Jasper Oshun and Margaret Lang (ERE).
Wyeth Wunderlich (MS, Environmental Systems-Geology) presented a poster on water storage in high Andean wetlands.
Edward Davis (B.S. Geology, 2019) presented a poster on geophysical imaging of the subsurface of an Andean watershed.
Jasper Oshun presented a talk explaining the importance of bofedales, or peatlands, in sustaining flow in mountain catchments.
Tammy Phrakonkham
Geology
HSU geology student Tammy Phrakonkham has been selected to represent northern California at the 2019 Geosciences Congressional Visits Day (GEO-CVD) on Sept. 10-11 in Washington, D.C.
GEO-CVD is sponsored by American Geophysical Union along with other Earth science societies each year “to increase the visibility of and support for the geosciences in Congress.” During this event, participants will be given an opportunity to meet with members of the congressional delegation representing their state and with staff from congressional committees who have jurisdiction over issues related to geoscience.
