Welcome Shane!
The Smerdon Climate Lab is excited to welcome Shane Russett as a new graduate student in the group! Shane joined Columbia in fall 2024 as a first-year graduate student in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. He has interests in paleoclimate, hydroclimate variability and human history and will be working in collaboration with Rhiannon Stephens in the Columbia History Department.
Shane earned a B.A. in Atmospheric Science from the University of California, Berkeley in 2022. His senior honors thesis, advised by Whendee Silver, investigated soil carbon stocks after the addition of compost and silicate-bearing mineral amendments. He received the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Hollings Scholarship, and worked at NOAA to analyze model projections of future climate and pollution across decadal and seasonal timescales. After graduating from UC Berkeley, Shane worked in environmental consulting as an air quality analyst before beginning graduate school.
Welcome Shane!
Group members Aadishah and Ibuki are attending the 2024 CESM Tutorial at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado this week. But it hasn't been all tutorializing! They are also getting the chance to enjoy a little outdoor time and even had the chance to connect with Ari Varuolo-Clarke, a recent group alumna. It's nice to see them all in the same grid cell!
