Dr. Ken Pierce, an MSU affiliated faculty member and geologist emeritus with the U.S. Geological Survey, will be honored for his contributions to the scientific understanding of the Greater Yellowstone region during a joint meeting of the Rocky Mountain and Cordilleran sections of the Geological Society of America! Dr. Pierce spent a career doing interdisciplinary research in the Greater Yellowstone, with topics that include: Pleistocene glaciations of the Rocky Mountains and adjacent areas; Quaternary faulting and neotectonics; Yellowstone caldera unrest; volcanism, faulting, and uplift along the track of the Yellowstone hotspot; and geologic controls on ecology of the greater Yellowstone area. The conference will take place May 19-21 at the Strand Union Building on the Montana State University campus. Were grateful for your research, teaching and commitment to MSU, Dr. Pierce! Congratulations! #MontanaState
