Overall Research Project Description The student will assist graduate research assistants in studying how the tropical Pacific Ocean has been changing from pre-anthropogenic to modern times using the geochemistry of coral skeletons as a natural archive of ocean temperature and hydrology. The student will work in a laboratory setting collecting and analyzing geochemical data in the skeletons of fossil corals.

Research Tasks Tasks may include literature and data review, drilling and imaging coral samples, using various analytical instrumentations, microscope work, and assisting graduate students in a variety of tasks.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: research assistants are required to have strong written and oral communications skills. It is recommended that research assistants are organized, highly attentive to detail, and timely. I see mentoring as a web, where everyone is entitled to and encouraged to have multiple mentors that will fit various needs. As a mentor, I seek to aid a mentee in their development as a researcher and individual to display their progress in a positive light and will aid the student in their future aspirations and ambitions towards pursuing their individual goals. I will discuss information with the mentee in an honest and direct manner and encourage my mentee to not only recognize the big picture.
