I have had the good fortune to assist more than 50 senior honors students with their undergraduate theses in Geoscience, Chemistry and Environmental Studies at Williams College and have helped supervise (with Will Ouimet, University of Connecticut) the field studies of two dozen students who participated in the Colorado Project of the Keck Geology Consortium.
