Amanda Stadermann is the recipient of the 2017 Curson Travel Scholarship. Amanda will attend the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) conference to be held in Portland, Oregon, in August. Amanda, a first-year student working with Assistant Professor Christopher Hamilton, will present her research on the young lunar crater Giordano Bruno, with focus on its interior and exterior impact melt. The IAVCEI scientific assembly, Fostering Integrative Studies of Volcanism, is also an opportunity for Amanda to learn the most current methods for understanding terrestrial and planetary volcanism and to participate in discussions on igneous geochemistry and petrology.

We'll report on Amanda's travel and research in the LPL Fall Newsletter!
