WSGC Student Spotlight: Brandon Roberts

September 23, 2024

Congratulations to this week’s #WSGCStudentSpotlight, Brandon Roberts! Brandon is a recipient of the 2022-2023 Stem Bridge Scholarship.

Brandon Roberts is a student at UW Milwaukee who joined the geosciences program in Spring of 2022. He is involved with undergraduate research on a project looking at rock samples used as an analog to the Jezero crater on Mars. The project aims to understand better the sediment transport and drainage history of Jezero crater using x-ray diffraction and particle-size analysis. In addition, the particle-size analysis will be used to help determine the accuracy of remotely sensed mineral spectra. Going forward, he hopes to remain involved with planetary geology while exploring the possible relationship between impact events and antipodal volcanism.

Congratulations, Brandon, and best of luck in your future!
