Congratulations to Kiran for a successful Master's Defense!

We would like to congratulate Kiran Almas on a successful defense of her Master’s Thesis. Her thesis, titled "Radiometric Dating of Rocky Planetary Bodies with Rb-Sr and LA-ICPMS" was presented Friday, July 9th. Kiran graduates with a Masters of Science in Geology and will be continuing at UMD’s department of Geology as a PhD pre-candidate under Dr. Walker. She is excited to learn new techniques in isotope geochemistry to answer outstanding questions regarding the evolution of the inner solar system. She hopes to someday teach in a culturally sensitive and empowering manner and advise the next generation of students in cosmochemistry and geochemistry.
