Evelyn is a member of the second cohort of Stravitz Scholars at the Batten School for Coastal and Marine Sciences. Her primary interests include ocean acidification, carbon cycling, and carbon sequestration, with a long-term goal of studying climate change and ecosystem recovery.

Project: Tracing Storm-Driven Carbon Dynamics in Barrier Island Systems Using CSIA

Evie investigates how extreme storm events drive the mobilization and export of organic carbon across dynamic barrier island and coastal environments. By analyzing different marsh deposits and suspended particulate matter using Compound-Specific Isotopic Analysis (CSIA), she traces specific carbon sources, origins, and transport pathways to evaluate how episodic events alter coastal biogeochemical cycling and organic matter preservation.
