Finally, we are awaiting the final results of the NSF Regional Innovation Engines competition that could bring a major research hub to our department and state. Wish us luck! There are too many research, teaching and outreach efforts to
recount here. All of this requires your help, and I want to thank our generous donors who support scholarships, field work, graduate fellowships, and other essential programs. We earnestly request your continued support this year to enrich our next generation of earth science leaders.
Sincerely,
William (Bill) Johnson
