Shelby Johnston, a Ph.D. student in geology at the University of Houston, was awarded a Mineralogical Society of America Grant for Student Research in Mineralogy and Petrology. This grant, for the amount of $5,000, will support her work to develop a method to establish temperature histories for sedimentary rocks.
One of two grant recipients selected in 2018, out of more than 60 applicants, Johnston is the first student from UH to win this award.
