Melinda Quock
Melinda Quock is a UVM undergraduate (’19) achieving a B.S. in Geology with minors in Geospatial Technologies, Applied Design, and Economics. During her time at UVM, she has processed meteoric and in situ 10Be samples and has undertaken fieldwork experience in Dominica and Italy. Her interests are vast and she is always ready to learn something new, whether it is related to geology or not. Her work in the lab (serving as her senior undergraduate honors thesis) focuses on temporal replication of 10Be to understand the effects of hurricane erosion on the Island of Dominica.
