Rachel Eveleth

Assistant Professor of Geology Rachel Eveleth is collaborating with scientists from more than a dozen universities in the Winter Grab, a first-of-its-kind research initiative to better understand the ecology of the Great Lakes. One of the world’s largest surface freshwater ecosystems, the Great Lakes account for 84 percent of North America's surface fresh water and about 21 percent of the world's supply of surface fresh water.

Although Winter Term 2020 is complete there are still so many photogenic and inspiring moments to share. In this photo series, we visit Lake Erie; Hall Annex 100 for a theater workshop with director Joey Rizzolo; Peters Hall for an elementary Russian class; the Ninde Scholars at Oberlin High School; and a chance to sport a terrific pair of 3D-printed snow glasses.

With a background in oceanography, Eveleth brings a broad earth system perspective to the geology department.
