From the 2,000 drillholes throughout the state, to 2 million feet of water-well cuttings, and 15,000 hand samples, the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) curates and preserves a vast archive of geologic materials from around the state. This presentation covers the diverse collections and highlights recent WGNHS work that utilizes the collections.
Carsyn Ames has served as the curator for the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS) since 2018. Overseeing more than 125 miles of rock core, 12,000 individual sets of water well cuttings, and over 15,000 hand samples and related documentation, Carsyn spends her time working with the collections in various capacities. Often, Carsyn can be found making efforts to better organize and preserve samples for their future use in WGNHS projects and beyond. She earned her M.S. in Geology at the University of Iowa after growing up in the upstate of South Carolina, and attending the University of South Carolina for her B.S.
