   personal_statement: My research primarily focuses on a climate history calibration
     study in the Gulf of Mexico. The goal is to provide a better understanding of
     current paleoenvironmental proxies, such as planktic foraminifera. Using a sediment
     trap mooring to collect foraminifera, we also analyze corresponding temperature
     and salinity data that is used for our modern calibration. The modern calibration
     and geochemistry can then be applied to records from deep-sea sediments collected
     over longer time scales. My favorite foraminifera isGloborotalia truncatulinoides!I
     have also been lucky enough to be a part of various interdisciplinary field
     work studies in Mobile Bay, Seahorse Key, The Florida Keys, Dry Tortugas National
     Park and cruises on multiple large research vessels across the Gulf of Mexico.
