OverviewAI-generated summary

Maurice P. Testa's research investigates geological and environmental processes, with a recent focus on sediment distribution and water tracing. His work includes the study of detrital sediment distribution and inter-reef currents in the McKay Bay Member Knoll Reef in Michigan, as well as petrographic analysis of sediment within this geological formation. Testa also explores groundwater tracing in karst aquifers within the Hiawatha National Forest. Additionally, his recent publications extend into the application of technology for environmental research, examining the accuracy of 3D scanning software like PolyCam on lidar and photogrammetry devices. He has also investigated the use of Gigapan photogrammetry for outcrop description and 3D modeling, and explored forecasting methods for coral bleaching using AI. Testa collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, including Tucker Kelly, J. Mader, and Ross Bieker, as well as Emily Blitz from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
