Baylor University Ph.D. graduate student, Alix Fournier, received a GSA Graduate Student Research Grant to support her dissertation research. The goal of these grants is to support graduate students research projects in any field of the Geosciences. Alix was granted $2000 to support her project “Interrelation between late Quaternary geomorphic and hydrologic processes for the evolution of Monahans and Kermit dune fields, West Texas, USA”. The objective is to understand the relationship between perched aquifers hosted in Monahans and Kermit dune fields and dunes’ height and morphology, as well as the origin and recharge mechanism of these aquifers.
