Amanda Holmes Email and Phone Number

My name is Amanda Holmes, I am a senior studying geology and geophysics at Purdue University. I have experience in all concentrations of geology such as structural geology, igneous and metamorphic petrology, sedimentary stratigraphy, geophysics, and I and have participated in extensive field work. I am particularily interested in remote sensing and igneous petrology.Beyond conventional geology skills, I have experience with geospatial analysis programs like GIS, ENVI, and IDL. For the past year, I have been doing undergraduate research under Dr. Ali Bramson at Purdue mapping buried lava flows on the moon using radar images. I presented this work at two conferences while at Purdue and I was awarded a scholarship for this research at the end of my junior year.Last summer, I worked at Atwell, an environmental consulting company and gained important experience working in the industry. I improved my skills working in a professional setting as well as getting more comfortable with assisting in writing reports and presenting. While not geology focused, this internship was a great experience for me, pushing me out of my comfort zone and forcing me to learn on the fly. I learned how to perform wetland delineations, basic surveying, and use ArcGIS Pro in ways I had not in school.
