Brittany N. Hupp, PhD
Welcome to my page! I am an assistant professor at George Mason University in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic and Earth Sciences (AOES). As a geoscientist, I use the tools of micropaleontology, sedimentology, stratigraphy, and low-temperature geochemistry to answer questions about past climates, ocean conditions, and marine biota. I'm interested in exploring the dynamic interplay between ocean-climate and ecological change, working to improve our proxy toolkit to investigate past environmental change, and investigating potential biases that influence our interpretations of rock and fossil records. At heart, I love cooking, being artfully creative, and fossil hunting with my geoscientist partner, our geologist-in-training son, and our dog, Darwin.
I will not be recruiting graduate students for the Fall 2027 cycle. Click the linked words to read more about our undergraduate and graduate programs in the AOES department at George Mason.
