Professional Activities (selected)
Invited speaker and participant, Workshop on "Upper Ocean Nutrient Limitation: Processes, Patterns and Potential for Change" at the National Oceanography Center in Southampton, UK, Nov 2nd-7th 2010
Invited faculty speaker at the University of Washington's Program on Climate Change "Summer Institute on Climate Feedbacks", at Friday Harbor Labs, Sept 14-17th 2010
Cruise Experience: Participated in the June 2008 BATS 236 oceanographic cruise out of Bermuda. Assisted Dr. Ken Buessler's Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution group (Andrew McDonnell and Stephanie Owens) with carbon particle flux measurements (NBST, PITS, in situ pumps) and with deploying the video plankton recorder.
In Dec 2008 I participated in the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN) Career Workshop at the American Geophysical Union meeting, San Francisco. The ESWN network promotes career development, provides informal mentoring and support, and facilitates professional collaborations among women in Earth Sciences. To become part of this excellent network go to http://www.sage.wisc.edu/eswn
Participated in the CarboOceans summer school "Combining data and models: statistical analysis and data assimilation in biogeochemical oceanography", at the Leibnitz Institute of Marine Sciences, Kiel University, Kiel, Germany, August 7th-14th, 2007.
Session Co-convener (with Mick Follows and Arnold Gordon) at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Hawaii in 2006. Our session, "High Latitude Dynamics and Biogeochemistry" was successful at bringing together a good number of physical oceanographers and biogeochemists. Our three oral sessions were followed by a poster session.
During the 2005-2006 academic year I was in charge (together with Fanny Monteiro and Patrick Heimbach) of MIT's weekly Oceanography and Climate seminar series. The Sack Lunch seminars take place every Wednesday, 12:10pm on the 9th floor of the Green Building.
In October 2005 I participated in a "Forward to Professorship" workshop for women in sciences at MIT. The workshop provided a forum to discuss issues associated with an academic career such as: applications for tenure track positions, writing grants, balancing career and private lives, teaching and writing tips, etc. The workshop provided us with a great Resource List, which I recommend for Academics at all stages of their career.
I am interested in the interface of science and policy and in how as scientists we can influence the political process. I am particularly interested in the role of the scientific community in environmental policy/politics in developing countries and in particular in Eastern Europe.
