On Earth with Madison Mancusa - Archaeologist

Madison is currently enrolled in her second year of the Masters of Archaeological Science program at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. She is studying ancient bison mobility at Promontory Caves, Utah using strontium isotope analysis. Promontory is an exceptional opportunity to explore variability in the strontium isotope compositions of multiple substrates (including dung!) to create an effective and reliable strontium baseline. Madison is also a chemistry and microbiology analyst at a laboratory where she has worked since high school. Outside of school work, Madison is a coordinator of Let's Talk Science (Lakehead Thunder Bay campus) which promotes youth involvement in STEM.
