Geology faculty, students set sail on NSF-funded research expedition to Labrador Sea

Fri, Aug 15, 2025

Two faculty members and two graduate students from Oklahoma State University’s Boone Pickens School of Geology recently returned from a 5-week international research expedition aboard the R/V Roger Revelle, a research vessel operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography. From June to July, the OSU team of Dr. Ashley Burkett, Dr. Natascha Riedinger, Amanda Harding and Monica Hinson joined 29 scientists from 12 institutions to collect sediment and seawater samples across the Labrador Sea. The expedition was part of a National Science Foundation-funded project “A Porewater Perspective on Benthic Sources of Neodymium to the North Atlantic” and focused on how seawater chemistry is both preserved in and influenced by seafloor sediments.

Physics microfabrication lab fuels research and discovery across OSU disciplines

Fri, Aug 01, 2025

The Department of Physics at Oklahoma State University recently added new equipment to its Cowboy Microfabrication Corral, which provides industry-grade tools and resources for faculty and students across OSU campus. Formally known as the Crystal Growth Lab — which had been around for decades — the Cowboy Microfabrication Corral needed a rebrand after receiving an “influx of new equipment that was not specific to crystal growth,” said OSU physics assistant professor Derrick Meyers. “The CMC is run by the physics department but is set up as a user facility for anyone to be able to utilize.”

D’Andrea helps Oklahoma National Guard plan Thunderbird Trail to honor WWII vets

Wed, Jul 09, 2025

Eighty-two years ago, the Allied invasion of Italy began in Sicily. The operation preceded landings at Salerno in the Campania region, and with it the push to take Rome. In May, leaders of the Oklahoma National Guard revisited that same terrain along with Oklahoma State University Department of History professor David D’Andrea. Stopping at sites in Campania where Oklahomans of the 45th Infantry Division valiantly took part in a vital campaign of World War II, the dignitaries paid homage to the lives lost and sacrifices made. This was one of the first steps in the Guards’ planned “Thunderbird Trail” project, for which D’Andrea is serving as historical adviser.
