M.S. Student Brigham Young University, 2010 Geology BS- University of Kansas, 2011 Geology MS- Hydrogeology Area of Focus: Taylor Ball’s research seeks to better understand the relative importance of vapor-phase diffusion and density-driven advection in the movement of moist air through desiccated soils. Courtney Bartlett Ph.D. Student Midwestern State University, 2014 Geology BS- Planetary Geology Area of Focus: Courtney Bartlett’s research is concentrated on nutrient release from Mars-relevant phosphate-bearing minerals. Additionally, part of her research focuses on the presence and weathering of minerals in snow environments. Mathew Beshears Ph.D. Student Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, 2011 Geology BS- Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology Area of Focus: Mathew Beshears’ research focuses on the evolution continental crust creation, specifically the earliest stages of partial melting, which is often overprinted or
