Mae Kate Campbell
Mae Kate is a masters student working with Paul Bierman to assess background erosion rates in Cuba. She is also exploring the use of
26Al and
36Cl for determining background erosion rates using carbonate minerals. Mae Kate has long been interested in how an understanding of human-landscape interactions can inform efforts to reduce humankind’s impact on the Earth.
