Hey! I'm Shrey and I'm a 4th year double major in Planetary Science and Physics with a minor in Geology. I've done research in geochemical analysis of martian meteorites, as well as in developing techniques for gravitational wave observatories to detect seismic noise. Outside the lab, I enjoy hiking, working out, sewing, and DJing. Come to my office hours for advice on course scheduling, research, clubs, and more!

My name is Lainey Stage and I am a third year studying Geology. I do research with the Macdonald research group related to sedimentology, stratigraphy, and geochronology! I have spent the past 2 summers in Utah doing fieldwork including geologic mapping and measuring stratigraphic sections. Beyond research and classes, I am the vice president of GAB and enjoy hiking, backpacking, and spending time with my friends. I have made amazing friendships within the EPS department and am looking forward to connecting with new students interested in the Earth Sciences.

Hello, I'm Isabella, a third year studying Marine Science with a minor in Public Policy. I am currently Co-President of Ocean Society (which you should definitely stop by and check out), I hold three board positions in my sorority, and I am an Intern-Teacher at a Preschool in Berkeley. I am also working on completing my teaching credential, so if you have questions regarding any of these things, I would love to share.
