Leah Kahn

Leah conducted senior honors thesis research focused on the provenance and chronostratigraphy of the Pleistocene Merced Formation. This research has given new insight into the timing of when the Sacramento River system made it through the Coast Range and began to deliver detritus to the coast in the vicinity of the modern San Francisco Bay. Leah also worked to develop new science outreach displays that communicate concepts in Earth science to a broad audience.
