Geophysics Society of KU
The Geophysics Society of Kutztown University (GSKU), a student group at KU, provided geophysical surveying services to a local historian just before the start of the fall semester. The Glendale Flour Mill owners were interested in locating the mill stones from their historic mill and GSKU performed ground penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometer surveys at the site to assist with that investigation. GSKU will perform additional surveying this semester at Lincoln Cemetery in Harrisburg, the oldest historically African American cemetery in Pennsylvania, in a search for evidence of a mass burial. This group is led by Dr. Laura Sherrod, Department of Physical Sciences.
