Congratulations to Kyle for a great defense of his dissertation, titled “To see a world in a grain of sand: microfossil reconstruction of Holocene climate and coastal change in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.”

Congratulations to Esra for an excellent defense of her dissertation, titled “Bioaerosols: Abundance, Diversity, and Impacts on Marine Systems.”

Congratulations to Christina for an excellent defense of her dissertation, titled “A multi-tracer approach to constraining hydrological and biogeochemical processes in aquatic environments of central California.”

Galen will begin a post-doc position in the Environmental Systems Dynamics Laboratory of Laurel Larsen at UC Berkeley in January 2021. He will be working on a data synthesis project modeling watershed storage characteristics using a recently compiled dataset of long-term streamflow and solute fluxes. Congratulations, Galen!

After finishing her PhD in June, Christina will continue working with the Paytan Lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Her postdoc research will use long-term stable isotope datasets to examine different temporal and spatial dimensions of carbon and nitrogen biogeochemistry in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Francisco Bay in central California.
