Caitlin works with Dr. Diane McKnight (Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research) studying the geochemistry of acid rock drainage in the Rocky Mountains. She is interested in the potential impacts of climate change on high mountain surface water and ground water resources. While pursuing the Certificate in Hydrologic Sciences, Caitlin is also dedicated to coursework in the social and policy sciences and to studying the ways in which humans interact with, perceive, and exist as a part of the natural world. Working at this crucial junction between science and policy is the most interesting and productive way that Caitlin can figure to live in this world. Her long-term goals include making this planet a healthier, happier and more just place for us all.

On weekends, Caitlin works as the coordinator of the water quality assessment stream teams for the Boulder Creek Watershed Initiative. In this capacity, she strives to engage community members to work together toward enhancing the health of the Boulder Creek watershed through education, information, and action.

Caitlin graduated with honors from Vassar College in 2005 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies (emphasis in Political Science) and a minor in Geology.
