Three DEEPS graduate students have created a Field Preparedness Guide, a fillable brochure and informative guide to help support safe, productive, and fun field experiences for undergraduate and graduate students.

A blend of chemistry and molecular-biology techniques are enabling archaeologists to mine ancient sediments for clues about the people who once lived there. DEEPS Professor James Russell commented on how ancient vegetation can provide reveal hints about ancient climate: the heavier it rains in the region, “there’s less and less of the heavy isotope left and more and more of the light isotope.”
