Interview: Hannah Hilbert-Wolf

Hannah Hilbert-Wolf may only be in her third year of studying geology at Carleton College, but she’s got some impressive field experience and publication credits: This past year was her sixth field season on the Monument. (Yes, she’s been coming out here since she was in high school.) And in addition to co-authoring papers like this, Hannah was recently an author on a published paper that was covered by the Smithsonian and the BBC.

Hannah was the most recent recipient of a Partners grant that aims to promote scientific research on the Monument. She found time between classes and conferences this fall to talk to me on Skype about her project. Click here to listen to our discussion. (The audio opens at the Internet Archive, a free digital library.)

And please feel free to spread the word about our grant program. Two times per year, we award grants of up to $3,000. Winning proposals this year focused on paleontology and geology, but the grants are open to student researchers from any scientific discipline. The next application deadline is Jan. 15. For more information, please contact Partners Science Coordinator Melanie Boone.
