¹ú²ú´«Ã½

Brandon Turner leans over his keyboard and with a few key strokes shows what he ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s spent this summer working on. A digital rendering of an enormous vertebra fossil appears on his computer screen, followed by a chipped femur and then the hulking skull of a haudrosaur, the duck-billed dinosaur of the Cretaceous period.

As part of the Queen ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s School of Computing ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s (QSC) high school internship program, Mr. Turner is working during his summer break to create a digital catalogue of a collection of dinosaur bones. Under the supervision of Dr. David Rappaport, he ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ ’s made a system that links together 3D renderings of bones and display pieces with their provenance information to be used when staging museum exhibits.
