DR. MIQUELA INGALLS
Barr Postdoctoral Fellow, Caltech, 2018-present
Postdoc, CU-Boulder, 2017-2018
PhD, University of Chicago, 2017
BS, UNC-Chapel Hill, 2011
Miquela works in modern and ancient environments to better understand how sediments archive information about the history of Earth's continental surfaces. Specifically, Miquela combines field geology, petrography, and stable isotope geochemistry to improve the use of chemical sediments in tectonic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions. She uses tools that investigate the processes by which carbonate sediments are altered after formation and deposition—from nm- to basin-scale, from in situ microbial respiration to deep burial diagenesis. Miquela is also developing novel isotope techniques for understanding the geochemical conditions under which life evolved. CV here.
