Bio:
My name is Gwenyth Heidinger, most call me Gwen for short. I am a geology major at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater that transferred to UWW only 1 year ago.
I am fascinated by Iceland’s unique geology and how that can serve as a proxy for comparison with other bodies in our solar system.
I have been given the chance to present my first ever poster at GSA Connects 2024. I hope to use this opportunity to continue my education through a master’s degree.
