I am currently exploring specific interests within marine affairs, but hope to further study marine resource policy, management, and sustainable tourism. I am excited to gain new social science skills to use policy as a conservation tool. Growing up in Hawaii, I love being in the water, but here in Washington, I spend my time hiking and exploring new food and cuisines.

I’m a geophysics student mainly doing research in seismology and glaciology! I handle outreach for the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network and am very passionate about finding ways to communicate science in ways that people of all backgrounds can understand and appreciate. Outside of class, I enjoy hiking, water activities, cooking, and watching stand-up comedy.

I am a junior studying Bioresource Science and Engineering. Along with the Student Advisory Council, I am involved in Associated Students of the University of Washington, Society of Women Engineers, UW Data Ethics Club, and I’m the Public Relations Chair of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry. Outside of class I love spending time with friends and family, playing volleyball, going to the gym, hiking and skiing, painting, riding horses and so much more!

I am a second-year PhD student studying atmospheric dynamics. My research focuses on air-sea interactions in hurricanes using observations and numerical modeling. In addition to SAC, I am involved in multiple Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) efforts in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. Outside of work, I enjoy going to baseball games, listening to music, and exploring Seattle.

I’m a current marine biology major with a focus in combining computer science and marine biology to encourage the conservation of marine species. I’m especially interested in the conservation of the Arctic and Alaskan Fish/Marine Mammals. Outside of classes I volunteer at the Seattle Aquarium, and work with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife assisting with Harbor Seal surveys.

I am a second-year undergraduate from Kent, Washington. My study area is Environmental Science and Restoration Management in the Natural Resource and Environmental Management focus. I am also an outreach officer for a UW indoor farm called Project IF. In my free time, I like to crochet, hike, paint, and practice photography!

I am studying Oceanography and Environmental Studies, focusing on how climate change affects the ocean, how it impacts our lives, and what we can do about it. I am also currently an Undergraduate Assistant for the UW Program on Climate Change and an Internal Membership Coordinator for the Environmental Policy Student Association. In my free time, I enjoy reading, racquet sports, and photography!

I am an undergraduate junior from San Jose, California, majoring in Oceanography and minoring in Data Science and Anthropology. I am the VP of Strategy and Operations for the Student Oceanographic Society and a member of the School of Oceanography Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. I am hoping to intersect these three disciplines for my future career. I enjoy swimming, hiking and reading.

I am a second year Computer Science student, currently looking to explore as many different things as I can. I am a senator in ASUW representing Institutional Climate Action, who got the university to divest $124 million from fossil fuels in Autumn 2022. Apart from that, I play keyboard in a band and enjoy lots of different kinds of music!

My research is based on fine scale remote sensing characterization of forest structure and condition. What this really means is that I use lidar and drones to try and identify areas of good habitat for species of concern as well as look at how fire changes forests. I use lasers and multispectral photogrammetry to study the forest. I teach GIS and remote sensing classes here at UW as well as at WWU and Evergreen. I have been an officer in the geospatial club at UW for the last several years trying to provide an opportunity for students at UW to get some hands-on experience with remote sensing tools such as drones and terrestrial lidar sensors. When I am not in my office (which I spend entirely too much time in), I am hopefully on some mountainside somewhere, far out of cell phone service. Or perhaps I may be in my packraft floating down a river. In the evenings, I hope to be rolling some multi sided dice with my partner listening to black metal on the stereo.

Within SAFS, I have been very interested in looking at geomorphology, salmon, and aquatic invertebrates within streams and their interactions with one another. I was also previously a part of the SAFS E&I Committee both as an undergraduate representative and as the secretary! Outside of class, I really enjoy doing art, writing, and playing Dungeons & Dragons!

I am studying Marine Biology with no particular focus yet, but I have always been interested in kelp forests and coral reefs! Prior to UW, I was the chairman of the Inland North County branch of the Assisteens, a national service organization, for two years. I am involved with the SeaDawgs and Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity here at UW. I enjoy scuba diving, cooking, running, hiking, and spending time at the beach in my free time.

I study physical oceanography using data from autonomous robots in the world oceans (Argo Floats). My focus is on the mesoscale vertical structure and motion that drive how energy moves in the ocean. Outside of research, I am engaged in a number of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in the School of Oceanography as well as many student community efforts. In my free time, I enjoy spending time in the mountains, baking, woodworking, and gardening!

I am an undergraduate junior from Renton, Washington majoring in Earth and Space Sciences and Atmospheric Sciences with a focus on climate. I’m also a Student Ambassador for the College of the Environment and president of the student chapter of the American Meteorological Society at UW! Outside of class, I love to go rock climbing, play video games and travel.

I’m broadly interested in how earthquakes and tectonic plates shape the earth. I’m studying the long term impacts of earthquake triggered landslides and I’m asking if the simultaneous triggering of thousands to tens of thousands of landslides by earthquake leaves a lasting mark on the landscape. I want to see if we can use the shape of the landscape to estimate where earthquakes will induce landslides in the future, and I want to know all the important factors that determine why landscapes look like they do.

I’m interested in microplastic pollution in the marine environment and its potential impact on primary producers and their microbial communities. Coastal primary producers like kelp forests and coral reefs produce oxygen and sequester carbon through photosynthesis. Ocean plastic pollution is increasing, and understanding how it may impact photosynthesis will be important in developing strategies for climate change solutions. When not working, I enjoy skiing, scuba diving and playing touch-rugby with my husband.

My research focuses on all things marine. I am currently studying successful fishing strategies of snow crabbers in the Bering Sea, Alaska. I am also summarizing global marine mammal population trends across regions and taxa. I am also evaluating the economic impact and value of SCUBA tourism on local communities. I am involved in the Graduate and Professional Student Senate group at the university-wide level. I enjoy cooking, eating, napping, and playing rnb/jazz.

I am an Environmental Studies major, hoping to declare a public policy minor by the end of the year. I am also currently in the leadership team at Washpirg. I enjoy going to the gym and hiking.

I am a member of the Roberts Lab in SAFS. My research focuses on environmental epigenetic linkages in coral reef ecosystems of the Pacific, with the goal of better understanding how changing environmental conditions may impact corals in the future. Prior to UW, I held a variety of positions in organizations like The Nature Conservancy and NASA Applied Science. Outside of school, you can find me tending to my house plants and pets.

I am a member of the Branch lab in SAFS. I study the population dynamics of baleen whales using mathematical and statistical models, and I often use historical data such as whaling records. I have a MS from the University of St Andrews in Scotland in Marine Mammal Science where I studied Southern Resident killer whale acoustics. In my free-time, I like to read, hang out with my cat Cedar, do yoga, and swim.
