UGA Geology majors visited the KaMin kaolin mining operations in Gordon, GA. With the help of KaMin geologist, Eric Parrish, the class was provided a core specially retrieved for them, which penetrated a Miocene-Eocene- Cretaceous sequence.  Students sampled different sedimentary facies and looked at different alteration zones.  This particular kaolin is a key component in making automobile catalytic converters. This literally…

Dr. Mattia Pistone, University of Georgia: “Moho Mission to the Foundation of Continents: The ICDP DIVE Drilling Project” Abstract: It is more difficult to access the Earth’s interior a few miles below our feet than it is to explore the surface of another planet hundreds of thousands to million miles away. Drilling has made it possible to explore the Earth’s interior and thus, go deep. But the thrill to drill is quickly contrasted by the…
