Sarah Brown Lewis
Sarah Lewis (Brown) spent her time at Ritterbush Pond. There she
collected numerous cores of lake sediment and processed those cores at
¶¶Òõ̽̽ and at Livermore Lab where we did the radiocarbon dating. She
interpreted a detailed record of paleo-storms from sandy interbeds so
well preserved in Ritterbush Pond.
