Hey! I'm Lexi and I am a first year PhD student at the University of New Mexico. I will be receiving my Masters in Earth and Planetary Sciences from UNM in Spring of 2024. In 2020, I received my BS in Geology and my BA in Environmental Science from Queens College, a part of the City University of New York (CUNY).
I have worked on a number of research projects from paleoclimate through microfossils to aqueous ion adsorption to barite crystals and ultimately to various topics in volcanology. Currently I am working to understand potential mechanisms of volcanic sulfur sequestration using petrologic, gas collection/analysis, and thermodynamic modelling techniques.
I am really excited for the future of not only science communication, but science instruction and education.
