Emma Brown is a third year EAS major with research interests in geochemistry and icy bodies, specifically what makes a planet habitable. She recently got back from a trip doing fieldwork in British Columbia, Canada where she collected samples from chemically "weird" lakes as part of an OAST (Oceans Across Space and Time) project. She will spend the rest of the semester performing ion chromatography on the samples for her research under Britney Schmidt. Next semester she is thrilled to have the opportunity to go back to British Columbia and experience fieldwork in the ice (and -30⁰F!). Her other involvements in EAS are StORM club, being a TA for Earth Processes, and a former student assistant. Some of her favorite things to do include reading science fiction, playing on an intramural soccer team and of course, drinking coffee. In the future, she plans to attend graduate school for a PhD in planetary science.
