Looking to stay current on the awesome work coming from EEPS? Check the cover of the August edition of PALAIOS! Drew White (MS 2024) and Dr. Dan Hembree published a new paper describing the effects of burrowing arthropods on the sedimentary record of eolian environments.
Welcome to the first day Fall 2025 Volunteers! It has never been a better time to be a Vol!
Summer means field work for our researchers! Graduate student Shymah recently went out to collect Ordovician fossils for her research, with the help of one of our post docs Dr. Kat Jordan-Burmeister.
Congrats to all of our Spring 2025 grads! We are so proud of what you've accomplished. Tell us about where you're heading next in the comments :)
Graduate student Kaitlyn Gauvey and Dr. Linda Kah recently had a new paper come out about how chert forms and what it tells us about Precambrian life. Read it here: frontiersin.org/journals/earth… @ArtsSciencesUT
Our students celebrated the end of the semester recently with "Rock Prom!" We're proud of how far you all have come <3
Some of our students and faculty had the opportunity for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) training last week, an instrument that allows for elemental analyses of samples in geology and environmental science. @ArtsSciencesUT
Did you feel the 4.1 earthquake this morning? Our seismometer in Strong Hall did! While earthquakes aren't that uncommon here, we haven't had one that big since 2018. Let us know what you felt!#earthquake
Learning to read scientific papers is a critical skill for our students, as is the ability to communicate data in more approachable ways! Our Paleoecology students (EEPS 423/523) made visual abstracts summarizing works that they read. Can you tell what they read about? #scicomm
Recently students in Limnology (EEPS 469/569) sampled and analyzed water from around our region, including an urban stream near campus, a headwater stream in the Smokies, and the KUB drinking water plant. #thirstythursday
You're almost to the end of the semester! Come destress with some earth science themed craft projects in the 6th floor lobby of Strong Hall :)
Last week we celebrated the incredible accomplishments of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty in our department for their incredible service, research, teaching, and growth this year. We're proud of all of you! @ArtsSciencesUT
Our Alumni Advisory Board held its Spring Board meeting on campus last Friday followed by a field trip to @IjamsNatureCtr. Current GTAs, George Denny and Lili Binetti, took them through our EEPS 101 field trip emphasizing the structure, sedimentary systems, and economic geology.
How do drones help us learn about the planet? Recent research by graduate student Cole Nypaver using one was recently covered here: artsci.utk.edu/drone-adds-det… Did you miss the original publication? Read it here! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
