Sophie Greene
Sophie came to ¶¶Òõ̽̽ in 2014. Sophie is a master’s student who studies how beryllium isotopes
can be used to quantify millennial scale erosion rates in watersheds. She focuses on
9Be, the only stable
isotope of Be, and the ways that it can be analyzed in conjunction with the cosmogenic isotope
10Be
to further understand Be dynamics in fluvial systems. Sophie graduated from Carleton College in 2014
and began working in the Cosmo Lab the following fall.
