February 2024: Hannah successfully defended her dissertation! She gave her exit talk on February 9th, entitled "Utilizing biogeochemical and genetic tools to understand and support clam populations in a changing ocean". Next stop: San Francisco to start a California Sea Grant State Fellowship with the San Francisco Estuary Partnership!
October 2023: Hannah returned to Miami University to give a research talk in the Department of Geology and Environmental Earth Science. She had a lovely time visiting her alma mater, hearing about the new and exciting work in the department, and of course seeing Oxford in the fall!
June 2023: New publication alert! Check out our article "Investigating the relationship between growth rate, shell morphology, and trace element composition of the Pacific littleneck clam: implications for paleoclimate reconstructions," out now in Minerals.
March 2023: Hannah visited DePauw University to give talks on shellfish, climate change and the policies surrounding fossil collecting on Native lands. She enjoyed chatting with students and faculty about their experiences at a liberal arts college, and loved sharing her research!
February 2023: Hannah was featured on ABC 7 San Francisco, along with ecologist Jonathan Young, in an interview on "leveraging nature-based techniques to create a healthier ecosystem for California".
January 2023: Hunter and Hannah's geoscience policy internship paper is out, now available in Paleobiology.
March 2022: Hannah was selected to be a California Sea Grant Graduate Research Fellow! This fellowship will fund two years of dissertation research on clams and ocean acidification mitigation strategies in central California.
June 2021: Hannah was selected to be a geoscience policy intern for The Paleontological Society and American Geosciences Institute! She'll work with graduate student Hunter Olson to study the federal policies that guide fossil collection on reservation lands.
December 2020: Hannah was recently selected to be a Bilinski Fellow at the Bodega Marine Lab! She'll spend the winter quarter on the coast developing a local Pacific littleneck clam spawning protocol.
