Jennifer Larsen
Jennifer started working in the Geology Department, in the Perkins
Building version of the Cosmogenic Nuclide Extraction Laboratory, in
1999. Since then she has seen quartz from dozens of sites on several
continents and worked in three different cosmo lab designs, including
two brand new versions.
