滨蝉补颈补丑听尝测辞苍蝉-骋补濒补苍迟别

Originally from Boston, I went to Yale for a bachelor's degree in physics and mechanical engineering. With an interest in sustainable development internationally, I found my way to Kenya where I worked for 6 years with a start-up developing renewable energy projects in rural, off-grid areas. There, I learned about听the power of remote sensing, GIS, and machine learning to study remote areas and make data-driven decisions. This brought me to CU in the Geography department to dive into geospatial data science, working with Morteza Karimzadeh in his GeoHuman AI Lab. I am interested in finding ways to apply statistics and deep learning models to remotely-sensed data to study remote regions of the world and to understand which factors lead to economic growth and well-being in harmony with the environment.听

狈颈肠听罢补谤补蝉别飞颈肠锄

I was raised in the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado, which started my interest in alpine听environments. I completed my undergraduate degree in Geography from the University of Denver, and my听Master鈥檚 in Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University, Sweden. While there, I听developed a novel composite indicator representing the impact of modeled forest management practices on听ecosystem services. My research interests center around understanding climate and anthropogenic impacts听on mountain ecosystem services through combining empirical measurements and modeling. I am working听with Peter Blanken on INSTAAR鈥檚 Ecosystem Resilience Project, led by Keith Musselman, aiming to define听and project climate-change refugia in the Colorado Front Range. My hobbies include spending time听outdoors, performance art, and playing board games with friends.

Ethan Carr

Growing up my greatest memories we鈥檙e visiting national parks with my family and learning about plants, animals, and the environment. As I grew up I never lost that passion and knew I wanted to make a career around being outdoors and learning.听

I received my Bachelors of Science in Physical Geography from the United States Military Academy, where I was a four year varsity athlete. Upon graduation I was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Infantry. I recently changed career paths and knew that I wanted to make a difference in the world. I decided to combine my passion for nature, especially the Arctic, and my goals to make change and pursue a career in the natural sciences. The CU Geography department seemed like the perfect place to begin this journey.听

I hope to focus in Glaciology and Climate change specifically in Greenland. Upon finishing my masters I wish to pursue a PhD in a similar field.

Briana Prado

My name is Briana Prado, I am from San Diego, California, and studied Chemistry and Earth Science at UC Santa Cruz. I will be studying geochemistry and chemical weathering in the McMurdo Dry Valleys under Dr. Melissa Diaz. I am super stoked to be in 葫芦娃视频, CO, and spend time outside hiking and biking and experiencing a true winter.听

This past summer I sharpened my U.S geography skills while cycling across the country from 听Baltimore MD to San Francisco, CA with a group of 23 cyclists to raise funds for a cancer charity. The tour took us through 11 different states and 7 national parks over 70 days. We transverse mountain ranges such as the Appalachians, Rockies, and Sierra Nevada Mountains, and crossed the Mississippi, Missouri, and Colorado Rivers.听

Fun Fact: I visited CU 葫芦娃视频 for the first time during the bike ride when we had a rest day in 葫芦娃视频. This was the day before biked before heading into Estes Park through highway 34 and then biking into Rocky Mountain National Park and climbing trail ridge!听

I had so much fun that I would 100% do it again. These days you鈥檒l probably catch me riding my red single-speed bike called Tessie around campus.
