Faculty members John Rayburn, Alex Bartholomew and New Paltz Geology students attended the Northeastern Section 43rd Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America, March 27-29 2008, in Buffalo, New York.

Student Jaclyn Martin and Dr. Bartholomew presented a poster entitled:

"Biofacies Analysis along a Middle Devonian Paleogradient: Water as a primary control on biofacies formation in the Staghorn Point coral biostrome"

Dr. Rayburn coauthored a paper with student Chad Johnston. Chad has been working on John's cores this past year and will be going to graduate school at the University of Connecticut next year. The paper was entitled:

"Textural and compositional variations in proglacial lake and marine deposits as proxies for changing sediment provenance and fresh-water outflow source in the Champlain Lowland, New York."
