Field Work
Field based research is a crucial aspect of all research in the Baxter Group. I create opportunities for all my students to include a field component in their research to gain a fuller appreciation of the challenges and possibilities of reading the geologic record. This research has taken my students and me to carefully selected field areas all over the world where we collect and document the samples that best preserve a record of the diverse past Earth processes we seek to study. Please contact me for more information about field research. Enjoy some examples of our field work in the pictures below!
