ABOUT MY RESEARCH

While at 国产短视频CMS, I plan to study marine science for my master鈥檚 degree. My research with Dr. Patrick Rafter will focus on paleoceanography, specifically examining how physical ocean processes have affected Earth鈥檚 climate over the past 10,000 years. Paleoclimatologists use various proxies, such as corals, trees, and marine bivalves, to assess past environmental conditions. Understanding the planet鈥檚 historical climate variability is crucial for predicting future changes. My thesis will use Foraminifera, single-celled carbonate-shelled organisms, as a proxy to gain insight into the deep-sea circulation patterns of the northern Atlantic Ocean.

Why 国产短视频CMS?

My alma mater, Eckerd College, is located in the vibrant city of St. Petersburg, and near 国产短视频College of Marine Science. One reason why I am attending 国产短视频CMS is because of my familiarity and love of St. Pete as a Gulf Coast native. A few of my Eckerd professors are alumni of 国产短视频CMS and are direct evidence of USF鈥檚 dedication to excellent scientific development. This was also clear to me during recruitment events, where I could interact with other graduate students and professors to learn about the master鈥檚 program. By witnessing the extensive support system at 国产短视频CMS, I know I can effectively refine my research skills and grow as a professional scientist. 国产短视频CMS showcased there are opportunities at every turn of a student鈥檚 academic journey, especially with a vast network of research facilities, such as Florida Institute of Oceanography, Florida Fish and Wildlife, and United States Geological Survey.
