Paleobotany
My focus within environmental sciences was paleobotany. I wrote my senior thesis for department honors on using whole-leaf and cell-level dimensions from Katsura trees (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) as light proxies and the implications of these relationships for interpreting the fossil record. I studied two years worth of collected leaves from the same tree, one a set of leaves all collected at the same time in the Fall of 2018, the other a time series starting just after bud burst in 2019 and continuing until the leaves dropped in Fall 2019
I got to present my research with my advisor, Dr. Rosemary Bush (Northwestern University, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences) at the (virtual) 2020 meeting of the North Central Chapter of the Geological Society of America during the paleoecology session. Please explore my poster from the session:
