MBGS E.Z. MANOS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
MBGS is pleased to announce two 2020 recipients of the E.Z. Manos Memorial Scholarship. The intent of the MBGS scholarship program is to continue to support and recognize those students that are learning their geologic disciplines while conducting research on Michigan geology.
PhD winner: Adedoyin S. Adeyiloa, Central Michigan University, $500
Title: Controls on organic matter abundance and its impact on gas generation, storage and transport in Biogenic Shale gas: Insight from the Devonian Antrim Shale, Michigan Basin.
Project goal: To understand the major factors that controls organic matter abundance and porosity distribution in a biogenic shale gas accumulation
MS Graduate/Undergraduate winner: Sara G. Hayes, Western Michigan University, $500
Title: Mercury sequestration during the Silurian Period in the Michigan Basin.
Project goals: To evaluate the hypothesis that mercury is not a paleo proxy for volcanism and find possible causes of the negative carbon isotope excursions in the Michigan basin.
Please join us in congratulating Adedoyin and Sara and wishing them well on their continued geologic careers.
