EENS Alumni Spotlight: Emily Chin, BS ‘08
I found that the core earth science courses prepared me well for a career in the geosciences. After receiving my BS degree at Tulane, I went on to a PhD at Rice University and then a postdoctoral position at Brown University. I am now an associate professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography / University of California San Diego. At Tulane, I learned not only the technical know-how to be a professional earth scientist, but also how to be curious and ask the questions that have formed the foundation of my research ever since.
