Will Stevens is a third-year undergraduate majoring in Earth and Atmospheric Science. He focusses on Paleoceanography and paleoclimatology hoping to one day contribute to solving the ever-growing problem of climate change. Will is currently working under Dr. Jean Lynch-Stieglitz on a senior thesis which focusses on creating the first core-top calibration for reconstructing past oxygen concentrations in the Florida Strait using foraminiferal porosity. He also participated in a research cruise under Dr. Martial Taillefert during the summer of 2024 where he helped assemble and deploy benthic landers, analyze sediment cores, and perform CTD casts for trace metal analysis in the North Atlantic. Aside from academics, Will is an Instructor in Training and the Communications Chair for the Backpacking sport of Outdoor Recreation at Georgia Tech where he staffs overnight backpacking trips. After graduation in the Spring of 2025, he plans to continue with a master's degree in Paleoclimatology at Georgia Tech and research how coral can be used to reveal climate trends. In his free time, Will likes to try new foods, hangout with friends, and be outside.
