Undergraduate Employee 2024-2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An undergraduate in oceanography and geology, Kieran is an employee at the OSU Marine and Geology Repository and has research interests in marine biogeochemistry, stratigraphy, and sedimentology. She has recently completed her honors thesis with the p-mag lab documenting the geochemistry of Heinrich Events in the Labrador Sea. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, and dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
URSA Engage 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nicole is an undergraduate studying Environmental Science and working with the P-mag Lab on the stratigraphy of sediment cores recovered from the Oregon margin. When she is not working at the OSU Marine and Geology Repository or studying, she loves skiing, backpacking, and kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undergraduate Employee 2019-2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saray Valdez is a junior in CEOAS pursuing a Climate Science degree. She has a strong interest in paleoclimate and has been doing research with the P-mag lab since January 2019. Saray is working with an ocean sediment core from Willapa Canyon that was thought to have an inactive canyon system over the Holocene; however, the core\u2019s layers and chronology show that is not the case. Saray\u2019s research project explores the Willapa Canyon\u2019s system triggers and past climate events that have caused it to \u201cturn on and off\u201d. Aside from from her research she enjoys being a part of the marching band, being a peer mentor for Latino\/a students, and visiting the local animal shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
REU 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angelica worked with the P-mag Lab during the summer of 2017, visiting from Puerto Rico. She sailed on the Oceanus to investigate sediments deposited on the Cascadia Margin during OC1706B (Co-Chief Scientists Walczak\/Stoner). Her research focused on the sedimentology and particle size variations of short cores recovered from the continental shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undergraduate Employee 2016 -2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ben studied geology while at Oregon State. He started with the Paleomagnetics lab in March 2016 and mainly helped with grain size separations. His senior thesis work characterized the spatial patterns of magnetic properties and sediment composition in the Northern North Atlantic. He has prior Navy experience and has hobbies, including mountain biking, fishing, and running. He is now a graduate student at Northern Arizona University, continuing to use magnetism to solve geologic problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undergraduate Employee 2016 -2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sam studied chemical engineering with research interests in surface characterization and process optimization and control. In the Paleomagnetic & Environmental Research Laboratory, Sam primarily worked on x-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements to obtain geochemical data on a wide range of cores from the Petermann Glacial System. During his spare time, Sam enjoys running, weight lifting, and drinking coffee. He is now a graduate student in Oregon State University\u2019s engineering program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
REU Student 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan joined the P-mag lab as an REU student the summer of 2016, working on the sedimentology and particle size variations of an eastern Oregon lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undergraduate Employee 2014 -2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chong Seok Choi studied Environmental Science at OSU and helped the P-Mag lab with grain-size specific magnetic measurements and u-channel measurements. When he is not working at the P-Mag lab, he likes to spend his time listening to music and reading up on water-related issues. He is now a graduate student in Earth and Environmental Science at Temple University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Undergraduate Employee 2015 – 2016<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katie is upper division undergraduate in the geology department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lab Assistant 2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ellen is from Salem, OR and graduated from OSU in spring of 2015, with a bachelor\u2019s in Earth Science (geology option) and a certificate in Geographic Information Science. She did an undergraduate thesis on 40Ar\/39Ar geochronology and trace element zoning in Colombian emeralds, and is now spending the summer working in the P-mag lab while she explores her career options. A fun fact about Ellen: her favorite sport is water polo, which she has been playing for the last 9 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IDES Intern\/Undergraduate Employee 2012-2015<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Konyndyk studied physics at Oregon State and pursued thesis work with applications in nuclear engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
REU Student, 2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elizabeth Patterson, visiting from Bates College, spent the summer of 2014 with the P-mag lab as an REU student. Elizabeth worked on the grain-size specific magnetic properties of Gulf of Alaska margin sediments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
