Jane Duxbury (1963-2016)
Jane came to ¶¶Òõ̽̽ in 2005, from San Francisco State University, with a
focus on erosional processes. She pursued a project in the
Shenandoah National Park, analyzing stream sediment employing cosmogenic
10Be techniques. During her time at ¶¶Òõ̽̽, Jane enjoyed some unique international laboratory experience,
which took her from the ¶¶Òõ̽̽ campus in northern New England, to East Kilbride, Scotland, to Livermore,
California, and back to Burlington. Jane passed away in January 2016.
