We are a team of Caltech students and postdocs studying diverse topics in the geosciences field, and are eager to share our love for the outdoors with students in our local communities.
I'm Juliet! I study field geology, and in particular, ancient volcanoes and the rocks that they left behind in their volcanic "plumbing" systems. When I was young, I went on a nature walk guided by a passionate college student who taught us about the plants, animals and soil around us—that experience opened my eyes and is one of the reasons why I chose to study field-based science, which I love. My wish is to do the same thing for someone else!
Hi, I'm Hannah! I am interested in understanding the relationship between plants, soils, and climate change. I love getting to know the young students in my community and introducing them to a new way of looking at the outdoors.
Hi, my name is Shae! I'm broadly interested in understanding how microbes shape the geochemistry of our planet's surface and climate. Connecting with the outdoors was deeply meaningful to me as a kid, and has played a large role in fueling my interest in geobiology (the interaction between biological and geological processes). I hope to share my passion for the geosciences with kids in my community and help connect them with the outdoors in empowering ways.
Hey, my name is James! I am interested in understanding how the microscopic world effects the Earth, its climate and the things living on it. I'm excited to help foster a love for nature and help kids realize they all have a place in science and the outdoors.
