Alice Paine
I am an Earth Scientist interested in volcanology, paleoclimatology, and paleoenvironmental science. My work to date has primarily focused on developing and using geochemical proxies sourced from records such as stalagmites, ice cores, and lake sediments to refine timescales of local, regional, and global changes over the past 100,000 years of Earth’s history.
