Speaking: Caitlyn Florentine, U.S. Geological Survey
The PSECCO Conversation Series provides an informal 1-hour discussion space for a small group of early career scientists to explore a topic of interest with a more experienced researcher with considerable success in the topic area. As a participant, you will have the opportunity to steer the conversation by submitting topic-related questions with registration. The host will entertain questions related to the session, so come prepared to have an active discussion.
Demystifying Federal Research Science
Participants will converse about science in the public sector of civil service. Caitlyn will prompt discussion and answer questions informed by her research perspective as an employee of the executive branch of the United States federal government.
Caitlyn Florentine is a research scientist who has worked for the U.S. Geological Survey since 2016. She focuses on the cryosphere, using an approach that integrates in situ data collected in the field, remotely sensed data, and simple numerical models. Her main research interest is in quantitative glaciology, especially regarding the physics of glacier flow and glacier-climate relationships. She is the current Principal Investigator for the Benchmark Glacier Project, which has conducted field-based research on key North American glaciers for 50+ years.
