Last week, Thomas and I had the incredible opportunity to help the University of Cincinnati on a project about using leaf waxes in lake sediment as a proxy for climate. We got to spend two full days in the Adirondacks on beautiful little lakes hidden among less traveled parts of the park learning about this project and how to take lake cores. This research will create side projects for us to use as a senior thesis that will supplement their findings. The Adirondacks are HUGE and there are so many beautiful spots to explore.
