Welcome!

Hello, I’m Heather.

Data science is an incredibly important tool for understanding modern climate change, anthropogenic pollution and associated risks.

I use coding and data visualization techniques to learn about past and present environmental changes to characterize potential future consequences.

Ice Core Science

Records of Past Climate

Extracting and interpreting ice core chemistry from glaciers is an important guide for understanding natural changes in climate and the impact of human activities on remote environments.

Atmospheric Dynamics

Dust + Pollution Transport

The chemical composition of atmospherically deposited aerosols, such as dust, in snow and ice can be used to track air mass pathways, along with source and emission strengths.

Paleoclimate Data Visualization

Temporal and Spatial

Data visualization is an important tool to showcase the complexity of climate trends and anomalous events through time and across different regions.

Human-Climate Interactions

From Ancient to Modern Civilizations

Connecting history with natural environmental records provides a interdisciplinary perspective of the human experience during anomalous climate events and pollution impacts from transforming technological advances through time.
