Daniel Conley, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, joined the lab in the fall of 2021 and focused on research in stable water isotopes and atmospheric dynamics in Tucson. He graduated with a degree in Environmental Studies in 2024.

Tyler joined the Paleo² Lab in the Fall of 2021 as an undergraduate sophomore; he is currently pursuing graduate school research at Oregon State University. His work focused on studying foraminifera and stable isotope and trace metal analysis of their shells. His research investigated hydrological/climatic behavior in the Northern Gulf of Mexico over the Holocene epoch.

Emily joined the lab as an undergraduate researcher in the Spring of 2020. She graduated with a degree in Geoscience and a minor in Environmental Hydrology in 2022. Her project focused on foraminiferal assemblage variability and geochemistry in the Gulf of Mexico across the Younger Dryas, a cold period during the last deglaciation. In the future, she plans to continue researching marine ecology and paleoclimatology. She is currently a graduate student at North Carolina State University.

Serena joined the Thirumalai lab as a UA undergraduate in 2019 and is now pursuing her Ph.D. at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. She received her BS in environmental science from the University of Arizona in May 2020. Her research in the Thirumalai Lab focused on using planktic foraminifera from the Bay of Bengal to investigate the relationship between paleomonsoon dynamics and faunal abundance across the deglaciation.
