Experience
Worked as an ocean current researcher at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc. in Lexington, MA in 2007. Teaching Assistant at the University of Chicago from 2004-2008 in the Department of Geophysical Sciences, in courses on climate dynamics and paleoclimate. Visiting Professor at DePaul University and the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009, teaching courses on general earth science and weather and climate. Research Assistant at Yale University in 2010, researching the global mineable resources of extractable rare metals. Field experience in the Canadian High Arctic – 6 days in Resolute Bay and 10 days in Alert (April-May 2011); ice core drilling and analysis of ice texture and salinity with depth, sea ice thickness measurements using electromagnetic induction (both ground-based and helicopter-borne) and borehole drilling, deployment of Ice Mass Balance buoys, and use of GPS instrumentation. Field experience in the Beaufort Sea – 15 days on-board the CCGS Amundsen (August 2011); performing ice drift forecasting and ice drift model testing and development. Author of one publication in the Journal of Antarctic Science. Languages: English, French. With Canatec since early 2011.
