Lindsey Kraatz received her B.S. in Marine Science from Eckerd College in 2003 and majored under Dr. Gregg Brooks. For an undergraduate senior thesis, Lindsey worked with Bob Morton and Laura Moore at USGS in St. Petersburg Florida studying the historical shoreline change of Honeymoon and Caladesi Islands, west-central Florida. She then moved on to get her M.S. from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington with Dr. Joanne Halls, studying back-barrier marsh habitat using historical aerial photography in North Carolina. Lindsey started her Ph.D. with Jesse in August 2005 and her Ph.D. work will be in conjunction with the MUDBED project. As a part of this interdisciplinary study, she plans on studying bedform morphology on various spatial and temporal scales in physically and biologically dominated environments. Lindsey will also be looking closely at synthetic seismograms of the upper few centimeters of the seabed to determine if a benthic acoustic signature can be defined. |
