** Presentation given by Dr. Dian Wolfgram. Dr. Diane Wolfgram worked with Janet Schweizerhof. Janet was one of four undergraduate students that conducted research at Montana Tech in the Department of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering through their Undergraduate Research Program (URP). The Geology of the Stillwater Complex is covered in the first portion of the student presentation on making lunar simulant from earth resources. Please see for details. Because Janet was not available during this workshop, Dr. Wolfgram gave the geology presentation and two students, Jackie Graham and Danielle Granlund, gave the rest of the presentation. Another student, Peter Rossiter, was also not available to participate.
