We’re excited to have Jada Langston join the lab as a MS student in August 2020. Jada comes to UM from Hamilton College where her research ranged from Paleozoic red beds in southern France and to evaluating the isotope records for mollusk shells in East African Rift lakes. At Michigan, Jada will be working on the stable isotope composition of carbonates from the Afar region of Ethiopia, to gain insights into both past environments and carbonate diagenesis in an active rift.
