Honors Projects
The Geology Department at Macalester College is committed to collaborative faculty-student research. To this end, many of our majors complete senior honors theses. A typical thesis-related research experience includes one or more summers of data collection and analysis (often in far-off places such as Crete, Zimbabwe, Mexico, Montana, Madagascar, and even southwestern Minnesota), followed by an oral defense and submission of a thesis to the library. In recent years, our students have conducted projects that focus on structural geology, geochemistry, paleontology, and sedimentology/stratigraphy.
