First Woman On Geology Faculty At UNC Chapel Hill
Judith Spiller and Dr. Judith Moody became the first women on the geology faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, joining last fall. The article notes women in earth sciences were only about four percent nationally in 1970, and two percent of geology professors, highlighting barriers and shifting roles in field and lab work. Moody will direct a National Science Foundation funded project on experimental mineral synthesis, with potential local mineral industry applications in feldspar, clay, olivine, and ceramics. Spiller specializes in paleontology, studying fossils and Earth's past.
