David Black - Dave is still reconstructing the Holocene (and other intervals) one millimeter at a time …  1,062,349 foraminifera have been counted thus far!  Dave’s CV and copies of publications can be found here.

Alison Huenger - Alison is a chemistry major and joined the lab in 2008 after Brittany (a lab alumnus) convinced her that geochemistry was the way to go.  She is recently graduate with a B. S. in Chemistry with Honors.  Her senior thesis involved looking at the stable oxygen isotope record from the Cariaco Basin across the transition of Interstadial 12.

Jennifer Wurtzel - Jen started at SoMAS in 2008 after spending four winters at the University of Michigan (they don’t really have years in Michigan - just winter).  Jen’s thesis study will create über-high resolution tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures spanning the last 2000 years.  

Gizem Eren - Gizem is a history major who has been with the lab since 2009.  In addition to basic sample processing, she will be researching societal change associated with possible Hadley Cell variability around 1200-1300 A.D., and is also working on foraminiferal population surveys.  

Kristen Butler - Kristen is a marine science major and started in the lab in early-2011.  She has taken over some of Gizem’s sample processing duties and is also helping Jen with picking samples for Mg/Ca analyses.
