The George Perkins Marsh Institute<\/a> and the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise<\/a> announced the first group of students named as Marsh-Mosakowski NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/a>) Fellows, during an April 30 reception held at the Mosakowski Institute.<\/p>\n

Mosakowski Institute Director Jim Gomes noted that the fellows’ work illustrates the perfect union of research and practice. The partnership, he said, was in part the result of a visit to Clark last year by top NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco, who spoke about strides that have been made, as well as the ongoing challenges, in developing a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

Professor Robert Johnston, director of the Marsh Institute, said the NOAA partnership links Clark students with scientists and peer-to-peer researchers from around the country. Johnston noted the program is emblematic of the University’s adoption of Liberal Education and Effective Practice<\/a>, which deepens students’ education by combining classroom learning with real-world engagement. “This is the sort of thing that LEEP is all about,” he said<\/p>\n

Gomes told the group he hopes they will share their experiences with other students in a fall presentation program.<\/p>\n

The 2012 Marsh-Mosakowski NOAA Fellows are:<\/p>\n

Christina Geller ’13<\/strong>, a geography and economics double major who will work on the project, Understanding the Importance of Marine Resources to Alaskan Fishing Communities<\/em> at a NOAA research station in Washington state. Her Clark faculty mentor is Professor Jacqueline Geoghegan from the Economics Department.<\/p>\n

Karissa Lear ’13<\/strong>, a biology major whose NOAA project will be Monitoring of Eelgrasses in Padilla Bay (WA) National Estuarine Research Reserve<\/em>. Professor Deb Robertson of the Biology Department will serve as Lear’s faculty mentor.<\/p>\n

Audrey Seiz ’13<\/strong>, a biology major who will spend the summer along the New Jersey coast studying Climate Change Effects on Fish Early Life Processes<\/em>. Her faculty mentor is Professor John Baker of the Biology Department.<\/p>\n

Emily Sturdivant ’13,<\/strong> a geography major who will be studying The Importance of Pacific Salmon and Their Marine-Derived Nutrients in Salmon River Basin Streams of Idaho<\/em>. Professor Karen Frey of the Clark Geography Department will serve as Sturdivant’s faculty mentor. Sturdivant had conducted research in Siberia with Frey as part of the Polaris Project.<\/p>\n

Lauren Ziemer ’13<\/strong>, an environmental science major who will conduct Coastal Ecology Research Supporting Ecosystem-Based Management<\/em> this summer at a NOAA study site along the Maine coast. Professor John Rogan of the Geography Department will be Ziemer’s faculty mentor. Ziemer is also a HERO (Human Environment Research Observatory) Fellow.<\/p>\n
