Research Spotlight
This past summer, Joshua Botticher participated in CURCA’s inaugural Student Start-Up FUSE Program. During the six-week program, he performed geochemical, petrographic, and spatial analyses to determine the connections between Georgia’s three most prominent granite outcrops: Stone Mountain, Panola Mountain, and Arabia Mountain. Joshua worked under the mentorship of Drs. Jerry Allison and Katayuon Mobasher to complete his research and hopes to present his findings at the 2016 Geological Society of America conference in September as well as at UNG’s 22nd Annual Research Conference in March 2017.
