Quaternary Community Loses Glenn Goodfriend

As scientists we each enjoy the genuine sense of discovery that comes from our daily work on earth systems and earth history. For most of us, our love of fieldwork is complemented by selfless hours of laboratory work and the camaraderie and inspiration that comes from collaborations with colleagues. The outgrowths of this process are the enduring publications that pass on our knowledge to others.
