Kim Churchill

Kim Churchill used magnetic and electromagnetic gear to locate uncataloged objects buried around an Army base that dates back to the 1950s, Camp Lucas. Under the guidance of Kelso, Churchill presented her results at the American Institute of Professional Geologists in San Diego. Her presentation poster took second place in the nation for undergraduates, and went on to the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco. The AIPG gave her a $500 prize for the excellent work.

"I've been accepted to Montana Tech's graduate school to pursue a master's degree in geophysical engineering. I have also accepted a full-funded graduate research assistantship to work with the Montana National Guard on developing magnetic techniques to detect unexploded ordinance. My summer internship with Geolex, a company under contract with the Guard, will study acquiring data, performing analysis, and offering interpretation on unexploded ordinance."
