Description
The PAGES ECN North American ECRs present a special panel event:
The State of Early Career Paleo Research: Opportunities and Challenges.
This panel event features Early Career Researchers spanning paleo disciplines and tracks, including representation from professors, non-academic researchers, postdocs and students. During this 2-hour event, we will discuss the opportunities that have arisen from our backgrounds in paleo science, as well as the unique challenges for ECRs involved in paleo-related disciplines. Come have your voice heard and share in the discussion!
Panelists
Lorelei Curtin has just completed her first year as an Assistant Professor at Bucknell University. Her research interests include paleolimnology, organic geochemistry, and geoarchaeology
Allison Jacobel is an Assistant Professor of Earth and Climate Sciences at Middlebury College where she runs the Facility for Oceanographic Research @ Middlebury (FOR@M) which includes micropaleontology and trace element clean labs. Allison’s researches focuses on understanding the mechanisms and feedbacks that amplify insolation forcing through the application of (mostly) inorganic geochemical proxies. Allison earned her PhD from Columbia’s LDEO in 2017 and was a Voss Fellow at Brown until starting at Middlebury in the Fall of 2020.
Jessie Pearl is the Freshwater Scientist for the Arizona chapter of The Nature Conservancy. Her research uses geochemistry, dendrochronology, and geohydrology to describe and analyze climate change, extreme events, and water resources. She is interested in regional climate dynamics, freshwater conservation, and impacts of global change and hazards.
Veronica Padilla Vriesman is a paleontologist with broad interests in biomineralization, coasts, climate change, and culturally relevant mollusc species. Veronica completed her PhD from the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at UC Davis in 2022 and is now an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Oberlin College.
Floyd Nichols is currently finishing his fourth year as a PhD candidate at Northwestern University. His area of research focuses on applying Organic Geochemistry to understand astrobiology and paleohydroclimate questions.
Jeemin H. Rhim is a geomicrobiologist and postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research examines the interaction between life and the Earth system, both in modern and past environments, and she is dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and justice in STEM.
Dan Killam is an environmental scientist at the San Francisco Estuary Institute, studying biogeochemical cycling in San Francisco Bay. His previous work focused on biogeochemical proxies from bivalve shells from the Jurassic to present, and from Tethys to the Gulf of Aqaba to Biosphere 2.
