Bruce Selleck       Bruce led the 2002 Australia Study Group to University of Wollongong, accompanied by wife Nancy and daughter Beth. The program included a 10-day trip to the interior and north, with such highlights as Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Alice Springs, King's Canyon, Darwin, Kakadu National Park and Cairns including the Great Barrier Reef. The Permian and Triassic rocks of the Sydney Basin provided a great local area for geological excursions and opportunities for new research projects with colleagues at Wollongong. Bruce continues to teach Stratigraphy and Sedimentation, Hydrology and Surficial Geology (which now includes a healthy dose of GIS techniques), Marine Environments and Hydrogeology. He also is involved in the Environmental Studies program, teaching regularly in the senior seminar course.       Bruce's research on local water and carbonate sediment geochemistry continues, using Woodman Pond and other area watersheds as study sites for projects with students. Bruce has also worked with Jim McLelland on a series of papers on Adirondack hydrothermal systems in the younger granites which host magnetite ore deposits. Other research projects include study of the geochemistry and sedimentology of late Tertiary basins in south-central Alaska, basinal brine fluids and dolomitization of Proterozoic marbles in the Adirondack Lowlands, and modeling of groundwater flow in local aquifers.       Bruce will begin a three-year term as department chair this summer, and is busy chairing the search for a new athletic director and overseeing the purchase of a new Scanning Electron Microscope system for the department using funds from a NSF-Major Research Instrumentation grant. He continues his work with the Patriot League as chair of the Policy Committee, and recently completed a two-year stint on the Task Force on Campus Culture, which studied a range of issues regarding social and residential life at Colgate. Bruce was named H.O. Whitnall Professor of Geology in May of 2003. His daughter Caity will be a senior at Bucknell University this fall, and daughter Beth will begin her senior year at Hamilton High School.
