02/10/2022 — Check out my new Youtube channel, where I'll be posting all of recorded talks, visualizations, and outreach activities. The first post is my 15-minute talk for Ocean Sciences 2022.
02/28/2022 — Come drop by my talk on diapycnal motion, diffusion, and shear dispersion of tracers in the ocean at the 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting!
01/07/2022 — The last two chapters of my PhD thesis, recently submitted to the Journal of Physical Oceanography, are now posted as companion preprints [1,2] on EarthArxiv.
12/13/2021 — Our research on the upwelling spiral in the Southern Ocean was featured in a New York Times multi-media article titled Rising From the Antarctic, a Climate Alarm.
10/16/2021 — My collaborator Riley X. Brady just published paper in the journal Geophysical Research Letters which confirms the Southern Ocean upwelling hotspots identified by my previous work and shows that they are bringing up old, carbon-rich deep waters with high outgassing potential. This has implications for observational campaigns to close the oceanic carbon budget (air-sea fluxes in the Southern Ocean are both enourmous and notoriously difficult to measure due to harsh conditions and sea ice cover) and for the permanence of Oceanic methods for Carbon Dioxide Removal.
10/01/2021 — I am currently out at sea on the RRS Discovery, searching for a purposefully released tracer that will provide valuable data for testing the theoretical predictions in my PhD dissertation. Check out Marie-Jose Messias and Bethan Wynne-Cattanach's presentations at the upcoming 2022 Ocean Sciences Meeting for the results!
09/01/2021 — I am now settled in to my new place in Princeton, NJ– enjoyed getting to know the Princeton Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences community at the annual retreat this past week. Many news faces but also some old friends and collaborators!
08/02/2021 — I successfully defended and submitted my Ph.D. from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in
Oceanography! Now for a long-awaited vacation before a fresh start at Princeton/GFDL in a few weeks!
05/04/2021 — I was awarded a NOAA Climate & Global
Change Postdoctoral fellowship to support my research on "Parameterization of Bottom Mixed
Layer Eddies and Their Impact on Climate" with Dr. Sonya Legg at Princeton University. I am looking
forward to starting at Princeton/GFDL in September 2021!
08/23/2020 — The first chapter of my PhD dissertation, a theoretical study of the deep ocean
circulation, is now published in the Journal
of Physical Oceanography!
12/04/2020 — Our new paper evaluating historical climate model projections of global warming is now
published in Geophysical
Research Letters. See coverage by the
Associated Press (via The New York Times), Science
Magazine, Vox,
and more.
09/20/2020 — My colleagues and I wrote an opinion piece "Young climate scientists speak
out" about why we, as young climate scientists, participated in the Boston Youth Climate
Strike (09/20/2019) for climate action.
06/08/2019 — My opinion piece "Eight ways to support
women in science" was published in EOS.
12/08/2018 — I passed my thesis proposal and am now a fully-fledge PhD candidate working on their
thesis!
09/05/2018 — I started a science communication project where I livestream Fortnite, a popular video
game, with other climate scientists. We're on Youtube and Twitch. Gizmodo
and Wired covered the
project. CBC Radio also interviewed
me for a story.
08/30/2018 — I wrote a blog post about
Male Allyship of Women in Science for the Society for Women in Marine Science. There is a lot of
work that needs to be done for diversity and inclusion in science.
06/20/2018 — I passed the written exam and oral exam components of my PhD Qualifying Exam! Onwards
to PhD candidacy!
02/02/2018 — My first first-author paper, on Lagrangian upwelling timescales in the Southern Ocean,
was just published in Geophysical Research Letters!
12/12/2017 — Our new review paper on Lagrangian ocean analysis just came out in Ocean
Modelling.
11/15/2017 — I was interviewed by Nature editor Michael White's Forecast,
a podcast about climate science and climate scientists, as part of outreach for the 2017 Graduate
Climate Conference.
09/29/2017 — My first paper, led by phenomenal Scripps Insitution of Oceanography graduate student
Veronica Tamsitt was published in Nature Communications. The
work is summarized at Phys.org.
06/09/2017 — I was awarded a Graduate Research Fellowship by the National Science Foundation to
study the circulation of the deep ocean for the next three years. Haverford
College article.
02/18/2017 — Welcome to my new website!
