Investigating Erosion Along the Jinsha River

Marcus Hill ’19 traveled to Sichuan, China to investigate erosions along the upper portion of the Yangtze River, called the Jinsha River. Marcus accompanied Assistant Professor of Geology Amanda Schmidt and Oberlin student Suzanna Doak ’16 as part of Oberlin College’s ongoing collaboration with Sichuan University in China to collect river sediment samples for thorough examination in Oberlin’s laboratories. While in China, the group also connected with Taigu Fellows Maisy Byerly ’15 and Liam Leslie ’15!
