Dawn DeColibus, a junior from Strongsville, Ohio, majoring in biology and minoring in geography-GIS, presented a poster at the 2011 annual meeting of the East Lakes Division of the American Association of Geographers, held at Youngstown State University on Oct. 15. Her poster, titled “Buffalo Berry and Glacial Slumps in Ohio and Pennsylvania,” highlighted the experience she gained as an intern last summer working with the Botany and Natural Resources Department of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and the Adopt-A-Student internship program. During her internship, DeColibus helped identify the presence of buffalo berry bushes in northern Ohio and used Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to manage this threatened plant species.
