Matthew Carey presents research at American Geophysical Union Conference

2017 Dec 19

Matthew Carey of Little Rock, AR, was among a group of several University of Arkansas at Little Rock earth science students to present research at the American Geophysical Union Conference, one of the largest earth and space science conferences in the world.

The group attended the conference Dec. 11-15 in New Orleans, where more than 20,000 oral and poster presentations occurred during the five-day event.

"The students had the opportunity to present their own original research, observe the presentations from experts in their fields, interact with researchers at all levels and from a wide array of different institutions, partake in professional development workshops and networking events, and meet with potential graduate schools," Earth Sciences Instructor Joshua Spinler said.

Three students presented research conducted with a faculty mentor, Dr. Laura Ruhl, assistant professor of earth sciences.

They include:

Kayla Bolin, "Water Quality Assessment of the Buffalo River, Arkansas, United States"

Matthew Carey, "Spatial and Temporal Water Quality Dynamics in the Lake Maumelle Reservoir: Geochemical and Planktonic Variance in a Drinking Water Source"

Jason Simmons, "Urbanization Effects on Floodplain Sediments in the Fourche Creek Wetlands in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States"
