Congratulations to Hailey Sinon who was awarded a GSA Graduate Student Research Grant to carry out her current research on paleo-permafrost thaw in Arctic Alaska to the next step. With this grant, she will apply various radiocarbon dating techniques to a lake in interior Alaska to study patterns of organic carbon erosion that occurred as the region underwent significant permafrost degradation thousands of years ago, with the hope that it can be used as a potential analog for the future of Arctic permafrost.
