Marie R Champagne
Marie Champagne is a Physical Scientist with the GMEG Science Center in Moffett Field, CA. She received a B.A. in Physical Geography from UC Berkeley. Since joining the USGS in 2016, she has devoted her career to studying multi-proxy lake sediment records and specializes in reconstructing past terrestrial conditions. Presently, her research focuses on Pleistocene and Holocene paleoenvironments.
Marie Champagne first became interested in palaeoecological research at UC Berkeley. She worked with Dr. Roger Byrne on several lake sediment records from North America and learned paleolimnology analysis techniques including palynology. Since joining the USGS, she has contributed to the development of many paleoenvironmental reconstructions using sediment cores, as well as radiocarbon geochronology, age-depth modeling, and laboratory method improvement.
