University of Mount Union issued the following announcement on Sept 18.
University of Mount Union alumna Carlie Mentzer ’18, of London, Ohio, was recently awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship as she pursues a Ph.D. in geosciences from the University of Rochester in New York.
Menzter earned a Bachelor of Science degree in geology from Mount Union and earned her fellowship in the geosciences-paleoclimate field of study from the NSF.
Working with Dr. Carmala Garzione, Mentzer’s project aims to determine whether growth of the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau during the late Miocene (~12-5 million years ago) impacted regional and global climate. This work will be valuable in providing insight into the forces driving recent geologic climate change.
