Yukon, 2003

Two presentations on Principia’s mammoth project have been made this spring at professional conferences:

Kansas City, March 2003
Over spring break, Dr. Janis Treworgy gave a talk at the Annual Meeting of the Central Section of the Geological Society of America in Kansas City, Missouri. She talked about Principia’s mammoth project and its use as a teaching opportunity. Many of her colleagues would love to have such a project on their campus!

Yukon, May 2003
During spring term, Dr. Treworgy took three students (Rich Judkins, Lindsay Morse, Ramona Van Riper) to the 3rd International Mammoth Conference in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada. Here they presented a paper, in the format of a poster, on our mammoth project. The paper was co-authored by Dr. Jeff Saunders and Dr. David Grimley. Dr. Saunders accompanied us on the trip. The poster presentation was well received. We had a wonderful time hearing from and meeting the many specialists at the conference, collecting Ice Age mammal bones on the field trip to the placer gold mines, and enjoying the ambiance of Dawson City.
