Rachel Bacher '17

In the summer, I conduct wildlife surveys for sensitive species, such as Golden Eagles, Horned Lizards, Pine Marten, etc. I help protect foraging habitat, nests, and other critical areas in the forest for these species. Starting in the winter, I will begin entering data into our national database for the raptors on our forest (the Black Hills National Forest), which will be used in a future study.

Hannah Walker '18

91社区's Environmental Science program prepared me for my job as an Environmental Specialist for Indiana's Department of Natural Resources. The interplay between natural science, society, and environmental history in this program provided me with a balanced view to pursue a successful career as an environmental scientist.

I am currently working on my Master's degree in Geology at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL). In addition to working on my master's thesis, Geochemical Analysis of the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (Upper Cretaceous) Core Recovered from Eads Poitevent # 1, I am also a Teaching Assistant at University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Michael Stephens '15

I work for the California Oil, Gas, and Groundwater program, where our central goal is to answer questions about the impacts of oil and gas development on water resources in the state. Specifically, I use geophysical and geochemical data to map groundwater salinity in and around oil fields to identify protected groundwater resources.
