Melanie Carolan obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Earth Science with a minor in Mathematics at Vassar College. She served as the Fisheries Science Undergraduate Researcher at Shoals Marine Laboratory during the summer of 2022, and then as the Education and Outreach Intern at the Loon Preservation Committee during the summer of 2023. These experiences helped shape her interest in oceanography and aquatic science in general. Melanie is particularly interested in the interactions between geomorphology and the distributions of marine species. She is also interested in science education, data visualization, natural disasters, and humanity's use of natural resources. Outside of her research, Melanie enjoys swimming, kayaking, making art, and spending time with friends and family.
