MY BACKGROUND

My name is Mary Grace, and I'm a PhD candidate in the Earth Science Department (formerly Geoscience Department) with a focus in paleoclimate modeling at the University of Connecticut. I graduated from Furman University in 2021 with a Bachelor's of Science in Applied Mathematics and a minor in Environmental Studies. My interest in the intersection between these two fields is what led me to join the Computational Climate Change Lab (C3) run by Dr. Ran Feng and Dr. Clay Tabor.  

​

Currently, my research is primarily centered around paleoclimate, high resolution modeling, mesoscale convective systems (and how to track them), and equilibrium climate sensitivity. I'm interested in hydroclimate and high impact weather events and how these might change in a higher-CO2 world. I really enjoy learning about new computational methods and effective data visualization! :)

 

Our lab has access to the National Center for Atmospheric Research's supercomputer, Derecho, and we work with the Community Earth System Model.

About Me

More about me

MY NON-ACADEMIC PURSUITS

I grew up in the US Southeast, primarily in North Carolina (hence the double first name). I love everything outdoors and enjoy staying active, and I even played two years of Division 1 softball in college! My childhood was centered around sports, and most of my weekends were spent at either my own games or at a football stadium watching my dad play for the Washington Redskins (now the Commanders). Now, as a retired athlete, I find myself packing my free time full of recreational sports leagues and finding new ways to stay active.

​

I'm passionate about houseplants, sunsets/sunrises in the Blue Ridge Mountains, pickles, farmers markets, running (sometimes), and, most of all, my dog, Kira, who I adopted in August of 2021.
