Mike Tran: Participating in Multiple Research Projects
I started my time at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ as an International Affairs major, but I loved my Geography classes, so (with strong backing from Dr. Abby Hickcox in the Geography department) I decided to extend my time at ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, adding Geography as a second major this past spring.
Since then I have been able to work on a couple of research projects within the Geography Department. These included helping Professor Colleen Reid with her research on the effects of wildfire smoke on children’s health. I was also part of Earth Lab where I was able to learn data science and programming skills and then apply them to a research project aiming to find the correlation ​between snowpack and streamflow levels of the upper ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ River.
