Senior Honors Theses |
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.
