Abstract:
In addition, other Akron students and faculty have been involved in studies characterizing the stromatolites, oolites and paleosols on the island was well as the resistivity of the freshwater lenses. In all, twenty-one students from the University of Akron have completed Masters degrees from work on the island---a testament to the educational and research importance of the field station and a tribute to the work of Don and Kathy Gerace in establishing and maintaining a place from which this research could be conducted. The insights about saline lakes, particularly on a carbonate platform, as well as ostracod variability and paleoecological distribution have been numerous and invaluable and provides fertile ground for future research in these areas.
