   intro_statements:
   - My research lies at the interface of land and sea and is used to build new tools
     to address coastal hazards. This dynamic region is experiencing rapid change,
     with new pressures from rising temperatures and sea level adding to those already
     wrought by the impacts of coastal development.

   personal_statement: I utilize a suite of geochemical tools, including naturally
     occurring radioisotopes in the Uranium-Thorium decay series, to understand both
     the magnitude and rate of change within coastal ecosystems. In particular, I
     am interested in how salt marshes have responded to a century of accelerating
     sea level rise, with a focus on their ability to store carbon and dynamically
     build elevation. I combine historical ecosystem information, gleaned from analysis
     of salt marsh peat, with modern environmental drivers to constrain future ecosystem
     responses.I studied geology at Stanford University (BS/MS) and received a PhD
     in Chemical Oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
     Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program. There I studied groundwater
     discharge and associated chemical fluxes. Between going to school, I did a Fulbright
     Fellowship in Mauritius and worked at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
     I came to the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center of the US Geological
     Survey in 2013 and have worked on coastal wetland and groundwater projects across
     the US.
