Page Seven December 2005 SMU Geological Sciences News of alumni, faculty, & friends Undergraduate Natalie Seaman (B.A., 5/2006) spent SMU’ s spring term at James Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia, as part of SMU’s overseas exchange program. On a Curtin Geology Department field excursion, Natalie visited the famous Shark Bay locality, along the Indian Ocean, home of some of the world’s best examples of stromatolites. The single celled cyanobacteria live on the surface of the carbonate mounds. They are reputed to be the first organisms to use photosynthesis to store part of the 1360 W/m2 of energy from the Sun by splitting water to combine it with carbon dioxide to make carbohydrate. The release of oxygen into the atmosphere set the stage for aerobic respiration, the major source of energy for the animal kingdom. Professor Louis Jacobs was recently awarded the Joseph T. Gregory Award for distinguished service by the Soci- ety of Vertebrate Paleontologists at its 2005 Annual Meeting in Phoenix. Leslie Bleamaster, III, (PhD., 2003) saw the publication of his “Atlas of Venus: Ovda Regio Quadrangle (V- 35)” and a paper on his new work on the canyons of Mars in Geophysical Research Letters. Les continues on at the Planetary Science Institute, Tuc- son, AZ., as a Research Scientist with funding from NASA. Jerry C. Ingels, (B.S., 1955; M.S., 1957), Ergco, Inc., Dallas, presented a departmental seminar on “Fracture Zones in Dallas County: Implications for the Extending the Balcones Fault Zone through Dallas County.” Nancy McMillan (Ph.D., 1986), Pro- fessor at New Mexico State University spoke in the fall seminar series on the topic of “Flat-slab subduction and the origin of Laramide magmatism in the Southwestern U.S.” Jason McKenna (M.S., 1998; Ph.D., 2002) accepted a position with the Army’s research lab, ERDC, in Vicks- burg, Mississippi, doing research in near-surface geophysical techniques. Jason most recently set up a local seismic network in Iraq. S. Mihan House McKenna (Ph.D., 2005) defended her thesis in June which contained ground breaking work on infrasound that included an analysis of the Space Shuttle breakup over Texas. She is now a research scientist at ERDC, Vicksburg, Mississippi. Petru Negaru (Ph.D., 2005) defended his three part thesis in April that con- centrated on the coupling between air to ground waves at the Nevada Seismic Array and heat flow studies at Yellow- stone Lake and in the Fort Worth Basin, TX. He is continuing on as a post-doc- toral fellow in the department. Douglas Oliver (Ph.D., 1996) pre- sented a paper at the Earth Systems 2 conference in Calgary, Alberta, this August. He continues his work on the angular momentum history of the Earth- Moon system. Aaron Pan, current graduate student, presented an invited lecture at the Lin- naean Society in Britain last spring. Peter Rose (M.S., 2004) returned in June to participate in the opening of the new dinosaur exhibit that featured his thesis material at the Fort Worth Museum of Natural History. Patrick Stepp (B.S., 12/2005) attended the SAGE field geophysics camp; he also did an internship at Sandia Na- tional Lab in geothermal energy. Leighton Steward (B.S. 1957; M.S. 1959) became chairman of the Dedman College Advisory Board. He is the first to succeed the late Robert Dedman as Chair of the Board Dr. Dean McManus (B.S., 1954), Professor Emeritus of Oceanography, Univer- sity of Washington, reports the publication of his new book documenting his trans- formation from a classi- cal university lecturer to a professional mentor in a cooperative learning environment. The journey is all the more remarkable because he accomplished the change in a large state research university environment. The book, “Leaving the Lecturn: Cooperative Learning and the Critical First Days of Students Working in Groups.” is available from Anker Publishing, ISBN 1882982651.
