Research at Scripps:
Mapping the seafloor to study deformation of the oceanic lithosphere
near subduction zones.
 Scientific
achievements: Spent more than 135 days at sea on
ships and dived once in the deep-diving submersible Alvin;
mapped more than 850,000 kilometers (530,000 miles) of seafloor-twice
the size of the state of California.
Notable accomplishments:
Investigating the deep sea, venturing into the unknown, and
discovering the unexpected.
In her own words:
"My time at Scripps has been invaluable, and my experience
has reached far beyond the science I've learned in the classroom
or at sea. I've interacted with researchers who have revolutionized
atmosphere and ocean sciences. I've personally seen the impact
that a single motivated individual can have on the world in
which we live. I am looking forward to pursuing my interest
in science policy and education."
