I recently graduated with a degree in Environmental Geoscience from The College of Wooster, and I am now working as an intern for the National Park Service Ocean and Coastal Resources Branch on a sea level rise project. My undergraduate research was varied, ranging from studies on tree rings to volcanic rock geochemistry to the influences of climate change on precipitation and ground water availability. I will soon be starting my MSc at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and am excited to further explore my interests in marine sciences. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, read, and roller skate.
Conservation
Good News for Green Turtles
Over 50 years of protection has led to extreme benefits for green turtle populations.
Ecology
Has eelgrass already adapted to warmer waters?
A study of eelgrass adaptive capacity indicates that they may be resilient to rising ocean temperatures.
Coastal Management
The intersecting issues of climate change and human-wildlife conflict
We have strategies to reduce human-wildlife conflict, but how are they holding up as conditions change?
Restoration
How tidal marsh restoration can help fight climate change
Restoring tidal marshes helps lock away carbon from the atmosphere
Biodiversity
Will coral reef biodiversity persevere through climate change?
New research from Hawaii indicates that there may be more hope for coral reefs than previously thought.
Behavior
Renewable energy is good for people, but what about porpoises?
A recent study helps us understand how some marine mammals may be impacted by tidal turbines.
