Noelle J. Van Ee obtained her B.S.from the University of Miami, FL in May 2007 with double-major in Marine Science and Geology. After working one summer in Acadia National Park as an Interpretation Intern, Noelle returned to University of Miami to pursue a PhD from the division of Marine Geology & Geophysics at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.  Noelle's research interests center on understanding the processes involved in the re-occupation of carbonate platforms with sea-level rise. What is the influence of antecedent topography? How do environmental factors dictate the arrangement of facies on the underlaying template? What is the diagenetic signature left in the rock by high amplitude and frequency sea-level cycles? Her study area is Glover’s Reef, a Caribbean atoll of the coast of Belize, Central America.  Noelle is an alumna of the National Science Foundation's Science Made Sensible program during which she served as a Scientist-in-Residence in an 8th grade classroom. Other outreach activities include volunteering for Women in Science Day events, the National Ocean Sciences Bowl regional competition, and the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Science and Discovery's Summer Science Lecture Series. Recently, Noelle has also gotten involved with the Scientists and Engineers Expanding Diversity and Success (SEEDS) Interactive Theatre Ensemble.
