This week we will be having AWG coffee hour tomorrow, March 2 at 10 AM with our own Dr. Sara Kimming.

Sara is the Facility Director of the Laboratory for Isotopes and Metals in the Environment (LIME) in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, Penn State University. Some of her research interests include applying non-CHONS isotopes as tracers in multiple systems including nutrient cycling, dolomite formation, and global ocean cycling. Her main research interests revolve around novel applications of mass spectrometry for environmental remediation and geochemical fingerprinting. Her research has taken her between multiple universities and a national lab in pursuit of establishing clean laboratories and mass spectrometry methods. Sara and her husband landed in State College in August of 2020.

As usual, coffee hour will be a relaxed time to talk to Sara about life, career paths, academic interests, or anything else.
