The Future Plans for Scripps' Fresh Doctorate Graduates

New Graduates at UC San Diego Scripps Oceanography Pursue Diverse Research Paths

The University of California San Diego's Scripps Oceanography is set to graduate over 30 new doctorate holders in 20XX, and many of them are already making strides in their respective fields. Here's a glimpse into the exciting research projects these new graduates will undertake.

Matthew Costa will continue his work on blue carbon uptake by mangrove and coastal ecosystems at the Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation. His research aims to shed light on the crucial role these ecosystems play in combating climate change.

Kara Voss is set to become a postdoctoral researcher working with UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy scientist Jennifer Burney. Voss's research focuses on understanding the complex interplay between climate change, policy, and society.

Osinachi Ajoku, who studied the impact of biomass burning aerosols on the West African monsoon, will join the National Center for Academic Research in Colorado. Ajoku's work aims to improve our understanding of the effects of air pollution on weather patterns.

Alan Seltzer has started as a postdoctoral researcher at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he will delve into the mysteries of the deep sea.

The researcher working as a postdoctoral fellow in the Environmental Policy and Strategy department at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy under Jennifer Burney is not publicly specified.

Margaret Leinen, Director of Scripps Oceanography, emphasizes the importance of diversity in science and the need to make careers in science accessible to a broad swath of society. Leinen's efforts align with UC San Diego's culture of exploration and experimentation.

Daniela Faggiani-Dias will be a postdoctoral researcher at Colorado State University and the National Center for Academic Research, focusing on climate variability and change. Her research aims to provide insights into the complex dynamics of our changing climate.

Scripps Oceanography operates a fleet of four oceanographic research vessels, providing these researchers with the tools they need to explore the ocean depths and collect valuable data.

Sarah Shackleton is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Higgins Laboratory at Princeton University. Her research focuses on extreme precipitation events on the West Coast.

Meredith Fish studied extreme precipitation events on the West Coast and will work for researcher Bob Kopp at the Climate Impact Lab at Rutgers. Fish's research aims to help us better understand and predict these events, which are becoming increasingly common due to climate change.

Alyssa Griffin, who studied the impact of ocean acidification on coral reefs, has been awarded the UC Davis Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowship. Griffin will work with marine scientist Tessa Hill on the carbon storage potential of seagrass meadows across California.

Drake Singleton will work with the U.S. Geological Survey in Santa Cruz, Calif. as a Mendenhall postdoctoral fellow. Singleton's research focuses on understanding the impacts of climate change on freshwater ecosystems.

Reuben Demirdjian, who contributed to the study of atmospheric rivers, will work at the Naval Research Laboratory in Monterey, Calif. starting in September. Demirdjian's research aims to improve our understanding of these powerful storm systems and their impact on the climate.

Garfield Kwan began a joint postdoc at Scripps and NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center. Kwan's research focuses on the ecology of marine mammals and the impacts of climate change on their populations.

Birch Aquarium at Scripps welcomes 500,000 visitors each year, providing the public with a chance to learn about the ocean and its inhabitants.

Sara Rivera will start a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Michigan. Rivera's research focuses on the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems.

These new graduates will specialize in areas such as climate science, biology, and earth sciences, ensuring that Scripps Oceanography remains one of the world's most important centers for global earth science research and education.
