Leo Research Assistant
Oracle, Arizona, United States
As a research assistant at the Landscape Evolution Observatory (LEO) at Biosphere 2, I supported an interdisciplinary research team investigating the biogeochemical processes of landscape evolution. My responsibilities included maintaining an LGR isotope analyzer, collecting bi-hourly discharge water samples, repairing sampling devices and sensors, performing greenhouse experiments, and recording sample pH and electrical conductivity. Through this position I also frequently interacted with visitors of Biosphere 2, answering questions regarding the research occurring at our facility and its relevance to today's global challenges.
