Radiogenic Lab To Promote New Research
A laboratory that will position the College of Geosciences at Texas A&M to be a leader nationally in geochronology, environmental and climate-change research will be dedicated and formally opened Saturday (May 3). The facility, the R. Ken Williams ’45 Radiogenic Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, bears the name of the Midland oilman who has committed more than $2 million to making it a reality.
Construction of the R. Ken Williams ’45 Radiogenic Isotope Geosciences Laboratory began in last October, but the project has been in the planning phase for over four years. The facility will be used for interdisciplinary research and collaboration by multiple departments in the College of Geosciences, across the university and potentially worldwide.
