Specialization:
Marine Chemical Oceanography, Paleoclimatology

Profile:
Dr. Goodkin is a postdoctoral scientist at BIOS, working within the Risk Prediction Initiative. She is also a Guest Investigator at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Dr. Goodkin earned a Ph.D. in Chemical Oceanography from the MIT/WHOI Joint Program in 2007. Her thesis research involved generating geochemical records from Bermuda brain coral to reconstruct the North Atlantic Oscillation. Currently, Dr. Goodkin is working with Scott Doney examining the impact that rising CO2 levels in the ocean will have on organisms which build calcium carbonate shells. Prior to attending graduate school, Dr. Goodkin worked in the Mergers and Acquisitions Group at Credit Suisse First Boston.

Current Research:

• Evaluating GCM results to better understand the impact of rising CO2 levels on calcifying organisms. Evaluation of low-frequency behavior in the NAO as it relates to climate change.

Educational Background:

• Ph.D. Chemical Oceanography, MIT/WHOI Joint Program, 2007
• A.B. Chemistry (cum laude), Harvard University, 2000
