Department I.S. Titles
Wooster’s geology program is tailored to the individual. The capstone
of this independent learning process is the senior Independent Study thesis
(I.S.). Students, with the guidance of a faculty mentor, design and pursue
original
geological research. Recent examples include:
- Paleomagnetic Remanence and Anistropy of Magnetic
Susceptibility of Dikes from Super-Fast Spread Crust Exposed at
Pito Deep Rift by
Andrew Horst ’07;
- A Stratigraphic and Paleoenvironmental Study
of the Middle to Late Jurassic Transition (Callovian-Oxfordian
Boundary) near Kraków,
Poland by Elyse Zavar ’07
- Origins of Garnet in Peraluminous Granitoids
found in the South Mountain Batholith, Nova Scotia by Jessica Hark ’07.
