UW Undergraduate Research Symposium

Lauren Easley, the UW undergraduate student who spent her summer in our lab measuring snow samples from Utah, gave a presentation on her data and our initial interpretation at the UW Undergraduate Research Symposium on May 15. This gave her valuable experience in communicating and presenting her science to her peers and faculty, and she seemed to enjoy herself (see picture of Lauren in front of her poster below). Thanks to all of you for allowing her this valuable experience!

As an update on the project, Maria just submitted a paper on another project regarding snow chemistry in Antarctica last week. In between paper drafts, she was deep in Python code performing model calculations of the Utah snow pack. Now that her other paper is submitted, she will be working on this project full time. We will be in touch with updates once she has some preliminary results.
