Déjà Vu
From learning 30 types of corals to tracing algae on Adobe Illustrator, my first research experience included fieldwork, gathering samples, traveling abroad, analysis, and invaluable friendships. If you’d told me that my first research experience would include all of that, I wouldn’t have believed you! This experience wasn’t just about learning skills—it was about becoming part of something bigger.
Climate and Tree Growth in Southeast Alaska
Climate and Tree Growth in a Temperate Coastal Rainforest, Southeast Alaska What: This Advanced research project aims to develop tree-ring chronologies for red and yellow cedar trees in Alaska and use these data in climate analyses and modeling. When: June 28-July 26,...

Geologic Boundaries: Identifying the Transition to the Anthropocene in Lake Wononscopomuc, CT What: The main scientific goal of the project is to identify a candidate for the Holocene-Anthropocene boundary in the unlithified sediments of Lake Wononscopomuc in...
Oreos, Kittens, Springs
If you had asked me one year ago where I thought I would be this summer, I doubt I would have said slogging up a stream-bed in knee-deep mud, searching for springs. It was an experience I’ll never forget.
