About Jessica
I joined the Coastal Hazards group in the Fall of 2018. In 2015 I received my B.S. in Environmental Geology from the University of Pittsburgh and received my M.S. at Virginia Tech in 2019 studying paleoseismology and tsunami deposits on the north-central coast of Chile. My Ph.D. work includes studying paleoseismology and land-level change using microfossils within coastal marsh environments. |
