Research Geology

Research Geology In Action!

I'm a female research geologist with a love of legos- this is a sample of my career. The scene here shows research geologists discovering minerals in a limestone rock formation and the characterization of the minerals in the laboratory. 

• The entire project has 213 pieces total. 
• Field geology: A female and male geologist with a dog (there's always the obligatory geology dog) exploring a crystal cave system complete with stratigraphic layers. Accessory pieces include:  compass/brunton, rock hammer, shovel, and a geology dog.
• Petrographic laboratory: Petrographic laboratory: Mineral analysis performed with a light 
  microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) complete with 
  an electron backscatter detector to distinguish phases and an energy dispersive 
  X-ray spectrometer (EDS) to determine elemental composition using 
  microanalysis software. 

Please help support this project to show other STEM research opportunities!
