Vittorio Colicci
Ph.D. Student in Earth and Planetary Sciences, admitted Autumn 2024
BioI am a doctoral candidate in the Earth and Planetary Surface Processes Group, where I study ancient windblown depositional systems on Earth and Mars and apply sediment transport relations to reconstruct the environmental conditions under which they formed. My dissertation focuses on three Archean successions thought to contain some of the oldest aeolian strata: the 2.64 Ga Vryburg Formation and the 3.22 Ga Moodies Group in South Africa, and the 3.43 Ga Strelley Pool Formation in Western Australia. In my research, I combine field-based sedimentological and stratigraphic characterization with remote sensing and laboratory techniques such as zircon microtextural analysis. Before starting my PhD, I worked on a range of aerospace engineering and physics projects, including materials development for spacecraft electrospray thrusters, nanofabrication for astrophysics instrumentation, and computational modeling for icy moon exploration.

Sara Constantino
Assistant Professor of Environmental Social Sciences and Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment and at the Stanford Graduate School of Business
BioSara Constantino is an assistant professor at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability in the Department of Environmental Social Sciences and a visiting research scholar at Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs. She is also a faculty affiliate at SPARQ and the Social Science Environmental Health Research Institute. She has an interdisciplinary background at the intersection of economics, psychology, and environmental policy and politics. Her research focuses on understanding the interplay between individual, collective, institutional and ecological factors, including how they shape preferences, decisions, experiences and resilience to extreme events or shocks. In recent and ongoing studies, she is looking at the role of polarization, social norms and governance in stimulating or stifling climate action, including both adaptation and mitigation, and what conditions lead groups mobilize to shape policy and other outcomes. She also works on the impacts and politics of guaranteed income and other cash transfer programs. Prior to starting at Stanford, she was an assistant professor in the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs and the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University and an associate research scholar at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs. Before this, she was a senior research fellow in guaranteed income with the Jain Family Institute, a founding editor at Nature Human Behavior, and a research coordinator with the Institute for Fiscal Studies. She received her bachelor’s degree in economics from McGill University, a master’s degree in economics from University College London, a Ph.D. in cognitive and decision sciences from New York University, and did a postdoc focused on environmental policy, politics and decision-making at Princeton University.
