Professor of Geology Eugene Domack received a grant from the Central New York Regional Planning Board to study the depositional history and environmental consequences of the Oneida Creek delta in Oneida Lake. Along with Scott Ingmire of the Madison County Planning Office Domack will begin a year-long investigation of the depositional processes and accretion rates of the delta in order to understand the relative role of wave action versus flood activity across the eastern shoreline of the lake. This is part of a larger effort supported by the CNYRPB in development of the Oneida Lake watershed plan, one of the largest watershed districts in New York State.
Domack also gave an invited paper at the 9th annual West Antarctic Ice Sheet symposium recently held in Sterling, Virginia and a talk at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in early November. An invited talk will also be presented at the American Geophysical Union's Fall meeting in San Francisco. A poster titled "Three stage ice sheet recession as recorded by swath bathymetry in the Mertz Trough, East Antarctica" will also be presented with Katie McMullen '03 at the AGU meeting.
