 abstract: 'During her undergraduate experience, Danielle worked as an excavator
   at the Big Pig Dig in the Badlands National Park; helped create, organize, and
   facilitate outreach events for the SDSM&T Geology Museum; completed 6 weeks of
   field camp hosted in central Turkey; and completed a senior thesis characterizing
   exoskarns and endoskarns collected in the Kirikkale Province of central Turkey.
   After completing her undergraduate degree, Danielle worked as a consulting geologist
   for Rare Element Resources (RER) on their Bear Lodge Alkaline Complex rare earth
   element exploration project. Through the financial support of RER, Danielle attended
   graduate school where she worked on many tasks including: characterizing carbonatite
   and alkaline silicate units of the Bear Lodge Alkaline Complex; using trace element
   variations in minerals to understand magmatic cycling in the Pecos Mafic Intrusive
   Complex, Texas; operating analytical equipment for geochemical analysis (WDXRF,
   ICP-OES, ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS); teaching the Mineralogy and Petrology laboratory
   sections which involved revamping lesson plans and assignments; and thermodynamically
   modeling the role of water in the formation of migmatite at the Ballachulish Metamorphic
   Complex, Scotland.Research InterestsDanielle is interested in igneous petrology
   as it relates to understanding ore deposits. Her current research focuses on characterizing
   the processes and conditions for the formation of carbonatite-hosted rare earth
   element deposits using a variety of methods including: optical petrography, fluid
   inclusion microthermometry, RAMAN spectroscopy, laser ablation ICP-MS, whole-rock
   geochemistry, and microbeam analysis (SEM, microprobe).'
