Anna Simpson

Oceanographer

pronouns: she/her/hers

My most formative educational experiences have been in the outdoors making observations, collecting data, and experiencing the surrounding landscape. Mentoring young folks as a part of Inspiring Girls Expeditions, a program that really fosters this type of experience, is really fulfilling to me as it combines my passions for creativity, the outdoors, and science. My pursuit to study oceanography came about because I really love math, physics and doing fieldwork/being outside -- studying the way fluids move on the Earth seemed like a good way to combine my interests. As a graduate student at Oregon State University, I study ocean mixing in glacier fjords and other funky places in the ocean.
