Brian Hanson '07, of White River Junction, VT, and Visiting Instructor in Geology Diane Burns gave a research presentation at the 42nd annual meeting of the Northeastern Section of the Geological Society of America, held March 12-14, 2007, in Durham, NH.

The presentation, titled "V-Shaped Pits as Indicators of Specific Depositional Environments," reported on a study conducted by Hanson and Burns analyzing samples of sand from a wide range of environments to obtain samples exhibiting the v-shaped pits. Their abstract states, "Once found, these samples will be subjected to statistical analyses to determine if their presence is evidence that supports the interpretation that they indicate one unique depositional environment."
