She uses a variety of geochemical tracers, including radiocarbon and neodymium, in sediment cores and deep-sea corals to reconstruct ocean circulation in the past. Sophie got a BA in Chemistry at Carleton College in 2011, then completed a PhD in Geochemistry at Caltech in 2018. She was a Lamont Postdoctoral Fellow at the from 2018-2021 before starting her position at WHOI.
