SIU geologist probes peat swamps for coal clues
SIU geologist Arthur D. Cohen tests peat beds in the Okefenokee Swamp to trace coal formation. A $47,000 NSF grant funds 37 core drillings across a 900 square mile area, with plans to helicopter into remote sections next year. Findings include underclay beneath coal seams and long-burning fires, suggesting natural preservation roles without marine sulfur.
