Nicole M. Gasparini (she/her/hers)

I am an associate professor at Tulane University in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences. I teach and advise at all levels - undergraduates to post-docs. I also do regular preK-12 outreach. I love doing research and wish I was better at time management. Most of my days are spent catching up and answering emails.

 

I have a young son and daughter, one mutt dog, and one very old shih-tzu. I grew-up in Buffalo, NY and have enjoyed living in many different parts of the U.S. When I was younger I was very sporty - I even ran marathons and taught aerobics during graduate school. Now the most exercise I get are walks with my very sniffy dogs, but I hope to get back to it once my kids get a bit older. I am also a strong believer in peaceful protest and hope to find time for more of that soon too.

Other fun news - In 2020 I became a fellow of the Geological Society of America! Huge thanks to Kelin Whipple (nominator), Jane Willenbring, and Frank Pazzaglia for putting together my package.
