[pccgrads] Hedges Visiting Scholar 2025: Naomi Levine

[Raisha Rahman via pccgrads]

Hello Oceanographers!

The Chemical Oceanography graduate students are very excited to announce
our 2025 Hedges Visiting Scholar, *Naomi Levine*! She will be visiting UW
Oceanography between April 14-16, 2025.

Stay tuned for more information about Naomi's research seminar, but *if you
would like to schedule a meeting with Naomi while she is here please reach
out to Will Kumler (wkumler at uw.edu <wkumler at uw.edu>).*

About our scholar:
Naomi Levine is a Professor of Biological Sciences and Quantitative and
Computational Biology at the University of Southern California. Her
research focuses on understanding the interactions between climate and
marine microbial ecosystem composition and function. She seeks to
illuminate the mechanisms through which climate variability influences
microbial systems and to identify how microbial systems in turn impact
climate. The Levine Lab is developing innovative, interdisciplinary
numerical models that allow them to understand how dynamics occurring at
the scale of individual microbes impact large-scale ecosystem processes,
such as rates of global carbon cycling. They are tackling
fundamental challenges in Biological Oceanography related to evolution and
cycling of organic carbon – work that will allow them to generate more
robust predictions of what our future world will look like.

About the Hedges Visiting Scholar Program:
John Hedges was one of the world’s leading marine organic geochemists and
was a member of the Chemical Oceanography faculty at the University of
Washington from 1976 to 2002. The Hedges Visiting Scholar fund was created
in his memory to allow chemical oceanography graduate students to invite
prominent scientists to the UW campus. *The visit includes research
seminars, group lunches and dinners with graduate students and individual
meetings with students and faculty. *

Best,
Raisha Rahman and Tara Kalia
