STUDENTS IN ACTION
AIPG Wisconsin Section Sponsored a Riveredge Student Research Symposium, “Connections in Nature” on Saturday, November 14, 2015.
Eighty-two (82) undergraduate/ graduate students and their professors gathered at Riveredge Nature Center, Newburg Wisconsin to present and dis- cuss their research in ecology, environ- mental science, and natural systems.
Sponsor Chris Lilek CPG-10195 congratulated the new AIPG Student Chapter at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater (UWW). Standing next to Chris are (left to right) Student Chapter President Laura Dykstra, SA-6404,Secretary/Treasurer Melanie Sorman, SA-6398, Social Media Coordinator Greg Guenther, SA-6413, and Professor Advisor/ Sponsor Rex Hanger. Vice President Tessa Snell, SA-6401is not shown.
A poster presentation titled “Holocene Records of Driftless Area Wildfire and Vegetation”, which was authored by Kendell R. Welch, Cody J Carmody, Amanda M. Carpenter, Giselle Varrientos, Philip T. Schultz, and Christopher A. Underwood (Tree-Ring, Earth, and Environmental Sciences (TREE), University of Platteville) dem- onstrated that macroscopic charcoal fragments can provide information on regional ecotonal dynamism between tallgrass prairie and eastern deciduous forest biomass.
Wisconsin Section of AIPG provided monetary assistance and two judges, Christine Lilek, CPG-10195 and Thomas Kettinger, CPG-11737, for the event. An AIPG table and display banner was popular with the students; the AIPG pens and chocolate bars flew off the table!
Attending their inaugural meeting in October, Chris presented the UWW Chapter with the AIPG poster, Student Chapter certificate, and seed checks totaling $200 from National AIPG and the Wisconsin Section.
One of the approximately 15 geology students in attendance shows his approval with an enthusi- astic “thumbs up!”
