Perfect fall weather helped UGA students participate in long-term mineral weathering experiments led by Dr. Rebecca Lybrand at the University of California Davis (UCD). Specially designed mesh bags (looking like tea bags) filled with different rock types (granite, basalt, and quartz sandstone) have been deployed in the soil for several years. This mid-November weekend Sierra Wermuth, Rita Dwivedi, and Taran Bradley assisted Ph.D.…
