As Assistant Coordinator/Geologist, Graham W. Stewart is able to enjoy two fields of work which he plans to follow in life: 'Rock Hound' science and scientific building projects. He enjoys working on this Hall since it allows him to continue to learn about all the major aspects of geology as well as the complexities of construction. His particular geological interests are in alpine and glacial terrains and the history of the study of Geology. However, his major personal interest is in building. Over the past eight years, he has concentrated on obtaining experience at many levels of the construction process from field labor to researching materials to planning, design and scheduling. While participating in building projects at over 10,000 feet in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, he became excited about working along with the mountainous geology to create unique and stable structures. Ultimately, he would like to have a solid scientific understanding of these terrains and combine this with the knowledge of a practical application of construction to build structures in otherwise secluded and potentially hazardous areas.
