ABOUT MEPostdoctoral Fellow at MITI (she/her) am a Postdoctoral Fellow through the Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Program at the National Science Foundation, working at Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Dr. David McGee (www.mcgeelab.mit.edu/team). For this post-doc, I am studying subarctic speleothems from the Northwest Territories of Canada to reconstruct past climate during former interglacial periods of the last 400,000 years. To do this, I am applying high-resolution (10-micron sized) oxygen isotope analyses to these slow growing speleothems to investigate sub-annual to decadal changes in precipitation and temperature. **This research was recently accepted for publication at Geophysical Research Letters! Stay tuned.
Previously, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison working with Dr. Shaun A. Marcott (proglacial.com/) and Ian J. Orland (https://ianorland.wordpress.com/) using geochemistry methods to study Quaternary paleoclimate. Specifically, my dissertation focused on the use of stable isotope systems in speleothems (cave carbonates) to reconstruct mid-continental climate changes for the last 250,000 years. Two chapters have been published on this work, which can be found on my Google Scholar page (see link below). Check out my research page and CV here:
