12th grade student, Brendan, and mentor, USGS biogeochemist Robin Reibold (with support from Dr. Sasha Reed and Dr. Erika Geiger), developed and carried out fieldwork for an experiment of Brendan's design. Brendan chose to study how aspect and angle affect the abundance of different rock lichen communities. Check out Brendan's episode of the Science Moab podcast: "What Do Lichen Like?"
