#KGS is introducing a new idiom: "As happy as a group of geologists in a quarry." Definition: fully in one's element, especially when surrounded by things that spark excitement or professional passion. Dr. Gabriella B. Kiss, Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University International (Budapest, Hungary), visited Lexington last week through the UKinSPIRE grant, a seed program designed to foster international partnerships and collaborative research. On Wednesday, a group including Dr. Kiss visited Mundy’s Landing and the underground Lexington Quarry to examine examples of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization around Lexington. @UKIntCenter, @ResearchKY #Kentucky #geology #geoscience #research #FieldTrip
