Jake received the department’s Alberstadt-Reesman-Stearns Field Studies Award, enabling him to conduct research on human-environmental interactions in the Middle East.

“I gained tremendous knowledge about how human societies interact with the surrounding ecosystem in both the Mediterranean and the surrounding valleys. I am immensely grateful to the Earth and Environmental Sciences department for developing my intellectual skills within environmental science and geology,” Jake said.
