Alexandra Apgar

Museum Research Traineeship

Alexandra is participating in the Museum Research Traineeship program at UNM. She is working on her Master's degree in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences under the mentorship of Assistant Professor Corinne Myers. Her current work with Professor Gary Weissmann and Associate Professor Jason Moore focuses on using modern analogue rivers to identify and classify the paleoecology of sedimentary basins within the Chinle (Late Triassic) and Nacimiento (Early Paleocene) formations. In addition to her research, Apgar is interested in education and outreach, and she plans to work as a museum researcher and an educational director.
