UAA Core Workshop

detailed description by UAA student

UAA Professor Dr. Jennifer Aschoff hosts an annual core workshop every December, where students show off their core projects.

UAA geology students taking Dr. Aschoff's Stratigraphy course describe and interpret a section of Alaska energy wells and outline their findings in poster presentations.

This is an open house event and everyone is encouraged to come and discuss the student's findings.
