Catherine (Kate) Davis
Catherine (Kate) Davis is an Assistant Professor at North Carolina State University specializing in paleoceanography. Her research focuses on improving planktic foraminifera as proxies for reconstructing past ocean conditions. Kate integrates studies of living and fossil foraminifera with marine sediment records, to investigate low-oxygen environments, responses to rapid climate change, and foraminiferal ecology and paleoecology. She earned her PhD from the University of California, Davis, holds previous degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Bristol and conducted postdoctoral research at the University of South Carolina and Yale University. Passionate about understanding ocean-climate interactions, Kate employs diverse approaches and techniques with a dedication to advancing paleoceanography.
