Science Student Spotlight: December 2021 Edition

Rebekah Grmela

Welcome back to this month's Science Student Spotlights! Throughout the year, we'll be featuring the science and work of some of our best and brightest SEPM Student Members, including some of our SEPM Foundation Research Grant awardees.

Check out some of this month's featured student work:

	Name: Nataly Chacón Buitrago School: Colorado School of Mines Research Statement: Automated Facies recognition using digital outcrop models and Machine Learning Summary: My project seeks to use supervised machine-learning techniques, to classify facies variability from digital outcrop models, generating quantitative data that can be used to improve spatial facies prediction. The models used in this study were taken in the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas.
	Name: Eric Stauffer School: Northern Arizona University Research Statement: Pennsylvanian-permian Mixed Carbonate-siliciclastic Deposition and Astrochronology Along the Continental Slope of Western Laurentia
	Name: Rawan Alasad School: The University of Texas at Austin Research Statement: Characteristics of gravelly sediment gravity flows in alluvial fans and fan-deltas of synrift deposits of the Valecito -Fish Creek Basin, Gulf of California rift
	Name: Victoria Cassady School: University of Southern California Research Statement: Examining Microbe-Mineral Arrangement in Actively Lithifying Microbialites
	Name: Dustin Northrup School: University of Iowa Research Statement: Fingerprinting the fluvial-tidal transition zone using facies analysis and elemental chemostratigraphic approaches Summary:
