Marine Sediments Research Lab Personnel
The following people say they are currently involved with the Marine
Sediments Lab in research, graduate studies, undergraduate studies or something
that gets them a check!
 |
Brittney began her PhD at USC in the summer of 2010. She received her B.S. at the College of Charleston from the Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences under the advisement of Dr. Leslie Sautter. Her current research involves the testing of various ocean acidification proxies on sediment trap planktonic foraminifera from the Cariaco Basin, Venezuela and core top sediments from various locations. Boron isotope ratios and foraminifera shell weight are among the ocean acidification proxies she is currently exploring. |

Aimee Pusz – Aimee comes to us from Rutgers University, where she
received her B.S. in evolutionary anthropology. She completed her Masters in
Geological Sciences at Rutgers in 2007 with Dr. Kenneth G. Miller working on
the stable isotopic response to the late Eocene extraterrestrial impact
events using benthic foraminifera from ODP Site 1090. Her Ph.D. at USC will
explore the major causes of Cenozoic deep-water temperature change,
specifically at the Eocene-Oligocene and Oligocene-Miocene boundaries, and
during the mid-Miocene climate transition using stable isotope and Mg/Ca
data from benthic foraminifera. |

Eric Tappa - has been attempting to keep things
in order for the past 27 (yes, really) years. And yes, the mustache is
gone. |

Bob Thunell - El Jefe, The
Big Cheese, The Chairman of the Board, The man who pays the bills...you get the idea. |

Katherine Wejnert – Kate began her PhD here at USC in the summer of 2008. She got her BS in Biology at Southampton College of Long Island University and her MS in Ecology at San Diego State University, where she worked on habitat suitability models. She has also studied geology at SUNY Cortland, where she worked on the microstructure of silicified Triassic bivalves, and marine science at the University of Otago in New Zealand, where she studied the skeletal mineralogy of the bryozoan Adeonellopsis. She has also participated in Seamester West, Tropical Field Studies in Peru, and the Williams-Mystic Maritime Studies Program. |
