A geochemistry professor at Western Carolina University led research in Antarctica that could help scientists understand what caused dinosaurs' mass extinction. Shane Schoepfer, an associate professor, recently returned from a month-long expedition to Seymour Island near the Antarctic Peninsula. University officials said scientists from across the country boarded the "Sikuliaq" research vessel to study the change in environmental factors leading up to one of "Earth's most significant extinction events." 🔗See the link in bio to learn more. #wcu #westerncarolinauniversity #dinosaurs #extinction #cullowhee
