Current Institution: Cornell University (Staff), Master's at Columbia in Climate and Society, Undergrad at LSU in Environmental Science and Biology
Research: I did a senior thesis in paleotempestology (study of ancient tropical cyclones) and had non-paleo related research experiences at NOAA and NASA in separate summers, as well as some experience at the Climatology Dept and others at LSU. I am interested in using foramanifera, speleothems, and/or corals as oceanographic proxies for changing ocean-atmosphere patterns. Don't necessarily know what time frame I'm 100% honed in on yet
Applying to: Columbia, MIT-WHOI Joint Program, UCSD (Scripps), Brown, Rutgers, Oregon State
Fellowships Applied to: NDSEG and have NASA and EPA on the radar. Wasn't eligible for NSF because of Master's
Thanks for starting this thread! I'm interested too, as I def don't hear about many other people applying in this field.
