Lyanne Yurco
Lyanne Yurco is the 2007-2008 Alumni Fellowship recipient. She holds a B. S. in geology and dual minors in Spanish and biology from Kent State University in Ohio. While at Kent, she participated in a scientific research cruise aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter HEALY, the country’s newest and most technologically advanced polar icebreaker, to the Arctic Ocean. This experience helped Lyanne develop her Senior Honors Thesis, studying grain size and spectral reflectance of a sediment core from the Northwind Ridge, Chukchi Sea in order to better understand past climate change in the region. Lyanne is pursuing an M.S. in marine geology and geophysics at Rosenstiel to further her research interests in Paleoclimatology. She hopes to contribute to the better understanding of past climate changes and their implications for the future of our global climate.
