Rachel Ragnhild Carlson
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
BioRachel Carlson researches the spatial ecology of coral reefs and variables impacting coral response to anthropogenic stress. Her work aims to support evidence-based marine planning linking conservation and sustainable livelihoods under climate change. She applies geospatial technology like high-resolution remote sensing as well as field-based methods to understand patterns of reef resilience and implications for ocean governance.
Prior to joining Stanford, Rachel worked for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where she led mapping and outreach programs to protect drinking water and coastal ecosystems. She has also worked for numerous environmental initiatives in Senegal, Ireland, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Rachel graduated from Rice University in 2011 with a Master's in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Bachelor's in English, and from Trinity College, Dublin in 2013 with a Master's in International Politics. She is a Stanford Graduate Fellow in Science and Engineering and a 2018 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow in Ecology. -

Guadalupe Carrillo
Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences
BioAs Director of Stanford Earth's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives, Dr. Carrillo directs and oversees the SURGE program for visiting undergraduate scholars, works with faculty on improving graduate-school admissions practices, and builds partnerships with universities and institutions across the world. She holds a PhD in English from Stanford University and a B.A. in English and Political Science from UC Berkeley. In addition to advancing the School's diversity goals, she also teaches literature courses on occasion. Last year she served as a lecturer for Stanford's CCSRE program, teaching a course on Contemporary U.S. Chicano and Latino Literature.

Laainam (Best) Chaipornkaew
Ph.D. Student in Geological and Environmental Sciences
BioBest is currently working on her Ph.D. with the Basin and Petroleum System Modeling Group at Stanford University. Her research interests include basin-scale deformation to address pressure and stress evolution using finite element methods and kinematic efficiencies of the strike-slip fault system using machine learning. Best earned her B.S. in Geophysics (2011) from the California Institute of Technology. Prior to graduate school, Best previously worked at PTTEP as an exploration and development geologist. Best also recently completed three summer internships with Chevron U.S.A.

Page Chamberlain
Professor of Geological Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
I use stable and radiogenic isotopes to understand Earth system history. These studies examine the link between climate, tectonics, biological, and surface processes. Projects include: 1) examining the terrestrial climate history of the Earth focusing on periods of time in the past that had CO 2-levels similar to the present and to future projections; and 2) addressing how the chemical weathering of the Earth's crust affects both the long- and short-term carbon cycle. Field areas for these studies are in the Cascades, Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, the European Alps, Tibet and the Himalaya and the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
International Collaborations
Much of the research that I do has an international component. Specifically, I have collaborations with: 1) the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt Germany as a Humboldt Fellow and 2) the Chinese University of Geosciences in Bejiing China where I collaborate with Professor Yuan Gao.
Teaching
I teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level in isotope biogeochemistry, Earth system history, and the relationship between climate, surface processes and tectonics.

Kiran Chawla
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
BioKiran's research focuses on understanding how an expanded notion of economic welfare that includes preferences for uncertainty and economic equity (intertemporal, intra-regional and inter-regional) alongside efficiency can be incorporated into climate policy design to mitigate adverse distributional consequences of climate change. She draws on insights from economics, psychology, and law to understand how to formalize people's risk and fairness preferences systematically for policy analysis, and understand potential legal and institutional barriers for designing distribution-sensitive climate change policy responses globally.

Marissa Childs
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMarissa’s research interests are in the ecology of infectious diseases. She studies the environmental and social conditions that promote vector-borne disease transmission. Her current research focuses on spillover of yellow fever virus in Brazil and the effects of temperature on dengue transmission.

Travis Clow
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences
BioHi! I'm a continuing fourth-year PhD student, previously at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, working with Jane Willenbring on resolving rates and dates of landscape evolution in North and Central America using cosmogenic nuclides. My main research interests involve the interplay of climate and tectonics as drivers of Quaternary geomorphological processes from coasts to mountain belts, active tectonics, and critical zone science. Outside of the lab and field, I spend my time skateboarding the city streets, hiking, and relaxing anywhere with a nice view with my partner.

Duncan Joseph Coleman
Undergraduate, Earth Systems Program
BioI am dedicated to improving the welfare of all animals, whether they are found in a laboratory, farm, zoo or the wild.
I work in Joe Garner’s lab in Stanford’s comparative medicine department to improve the welfare of a variety of laboratory animals, especially mice. As a Park Ranger at Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, I patrol the boundaries of the park, interact with all visitors, and work on a variety of research projects with the Stanford biology department. I am an active member of the student group People for Animal Welfare which organizes events on vegan and environmental activism. Through Stanford’s Sophomore College Program Life in the Zoo, I designed and built a novel feeding enrichment device with a team of students for a family of Meerkats housed at the San Francisco Zoo and learned to navigate the conflicting demands of visitors, staff, board members, and welfare needs on zoo animals. I also have extensive fieldwork experience as a zookeeper, visitor guide, veterinary assistant, and field biologist at wildlife rehabilitation and rescue projects in Costa Rica and Suriname. Over the last four summers, I have volunteered and interned at Kids Saving the Rainforest, The Sloth Institute, and the Green Heritage Fund in Suriname. My personal efforts to reintroduce rainforest species (especially Tamandua anteaters) and heal wildlife harmed by human activity informed my decision to start my own wildlife rehabilitation project in Costa Rica after my time at Stanford University. -

Kenneth Czapla
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Earth System Science
BioMy research combines biogeochemical and molecular techniques to answer questions about how microbes transform nitrogen and carbon in the environment, and how site-specific factors and human impacts may alter these transformation processes. My research at Stanford is focused on how the microbial communities in San Francisco Bay’s benthic sediments process high levels of nitrogen primarily from wastewater sources. Findings from this work will be used to calibrate a nitrogen removal model that may inform management decisions about nitrogen inputs to the bay. Shortly before arriving at Stanford in August 2020, I completed my Ph.D. at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (William & Mary) with a dissertation on the impacts of fertilization on salt marsh carbon accumulation, nitrogen removal, and resilience to sea level rise.
