Vice President Kamala Harris visited NAU in mid-October. The White House invited a group of five students plus one postdoc to have a special gathering with the Vice President (and the Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona), where the students talked about their research, their interests, and their career goals.<\/p>\n

David Trilling writes, \n

\n
\n As far as I know our astronomy students were the only group of students invited to have a discussion like this with the VP. What an amazing opportunity for them!\nI got to meet the VP (as did Cristina Thomas); we each had about 3 seconds total. (In comparison, our students had a couple of minutes — really an eternity in VP time.) When I got to the front of the line to meet the VP, and when she heard my name and title announced, her eyes got big and she said to me “Oh, you have great students!” No kidding — those were her exact words.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Tri University ABOR proposal on which Christopher Edwards is a Co-I was selected for funding Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\n

This award fully funds a graduate student and postdoc at NAU for 3 years to carry out UAV-based activities. The award is for ~$500K direct costs. The NAU team will support the remote-sensing based characterization of the mine tailing sites under investigation. They will model the top-layer thermal inertia following methods developed by former grad student Ari Koeppel<\/strong> to determine the likelihood of material mobilization. While carrying out the thermophysical investigation is a primary aspect, characterizing the volume is the second goal NAU will support. They will precisely map the topography of the site using RTK (Real Time Knowledge) providing accuracy down to cm scales and finish by mapping the bottom layer boundary using a to be purchased ground penetrating radar on a UAV.<\/p>\n

\n I am working on a self led project on geoarchaeology. I have been interviewing presenters and experts in the field to create an audio piece with an accompanying visual written piece so that diverse audiences can interact with my work. I am in the process of [combing] my audio together and finding the story, but so far I will have a great narrative about the humanities working with the sciences, especially where scientists are wanting to investigate on Indigenous land. Part of my story is how to properly (as in not colonially) conduct research on sacred land with the input of the indigenous people from the region.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
