Stephanie Madsen, Senior Research Assistant, Geology & Geophysics

Geology can be a dirty job especially when searching for evidence of ancient hurricane deposits beneath marshes and the bottom of ponds. Stephanie, a senior research assistant in the Coastal Systems Group, works with the team to core deep into mud in search of sand layers created by hurricanes that have struck Cape Cod over the past 2,000 years. Learn about their coring techniques, how they analyze and determine the sediment’s age back in the lab, and what their data tell us about our dynamic coastlines.

Free for Museum Members or with admission.
