Rachel Morrison received a B.A. in Geoarchaeology from Bates College in 2013, with thesis work focused on stable isotope applications in archaeology. She also received an M.Sc. in Marine Geosciences in 2017 from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel in Germany, with thesis work at GEOMAR focused on trace metal applications in paleoceanography. Since graduate school, Rachel has returned to New Hampshire and is presently working with Larry Ward on several projects, including seafloor characterization of the NH continental shelf and assisting with the NH Volunteer Beach Profile Monitoring Program.
