Leah Williamson

Leah was an undergraduate student working to process samples from Greenland and Baffin Island for in-situ ¹⁰Be. Additionally, he performed X-ray diffractometer analyses on stream sediment samples from Cuba. He is also involved in updating and managing the cosmolab website and database as well as assisting visitors by purifying quartz.
