Bradley Erney of Dover, Michael Jahn of Butler and Erin Heffron of Minersville were members of a team of seven students and two professors including Dr. Patrick Burkhart and Dr. Jack Livingston, who went on a research trip last May to study climate change and examine the origins of the land- scape. According to Erney, the group drove for three days to reach their destination and the trip lasted two and a half weeks. He said they spent nights in tents, went days without showering and had to deal with winds sometimes over 60 mph. The group moved from place to place and their main focus of study was within a one mile radius. The main objective, Erney said, was to study distinctive old buried soils, known as paleosols, which could be dated and used to correlate sod tables at different locations. Nine sod tables were studied and three radiocarbon dates are being interpreted and may assist in placing the study in the context of climate change on the high plains, he said.
