Eva Jorn, MS

Eva studied geology in her undergrad at Denison University where she fell in love with earth’s history and the interconnectedness of earth systems though deep time. During her undergraduate studies she also worked at the Denison Museum and discovered a passion for Museum collections. Following her interests in geology, Eva went on to do her Masters in earth sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. Her research explored microbial involvement in fossilization by examining traces of microbial mineralization in crystal orientation patterns in herbivorous dinosaur coprolites. She then returned to the world of museum collections to help manage the geology collections at the Museum where she continues to learn about earth history through the Museum’s diverse collection of rocks and minerals.
