Britta Voss, Marine Chemistry & Geochemistry.
Britta Voss earned her bachelors degree in oceanography from the University of Washington and was at first skeptical about rivers. But after countless field trips to beautiful British Columbia with her Ph.D. advisor Bernhard Peucker-Ehrenbrink and an unforgettable visit to Bangladesh and Nepal with WHOI scientist Valier Galy, shes now a riverine apostle. Her favorite lab-related activities are doing strontium chemistry in the ultraclean laboratory on the roof of the Clark Lab at WHOI and goading friends and family into collecting river water samples on their vacations. She earned her Ph.D. in 2014 and is now a postdoctoral fellow at the U.S. Geological Survey in Boulder, Colo., studying the upper Mississippi watershed. Outside the lab, she spends her time reading and dreaming about the Pacific Northwest and agitating for climate change action. Her mentor for this article was Jeffrey Brodeur, communications specialist at WHOI Sea Grant.
