The text below reads: "David graduated from Princeton’s Civil and Environmental Engineering department and will be working with Arcadis on water engineering projects in New York City. Originally from just outside Amsterdam, he joined the IGWMC through the High Meadows Environmental Institute, contributing to a joint project with Yale on groundwater vulnerability in the Appalachian region. His senior thesis used integrated hydrologic modeling to assess contamination risks from abandoned oil and gas wells, identifying nearly 400,000 people at risk." The graphic includes Princeton and IGWMC logos.
A congratulatory graphic featuring Brooke Beers, who is smiling and standing in front of a stone archway wearing a white outfit. The text below reads: "Brooke is from Winter Springs, FL, and her passion for environmental engineering grew from a deep love of the outdoors. At Princeton, she played varsity Women’s Rugby, led Outdoor Action orientation trips, and earned a certificate in Sustainable Energy. Through the IGWMC, she conducted fieldwork at Snodgrass hillslope near Crested Butte, CO, where she gathered data used in her senior thesis on predictors of plant species diversity. Brooke will be returning there this coming summer!" The graphic includes Princeton and IGWMC logos.
A congratulatory graphic featuring Ashley DeFrates, who is smiling and holding her senior thesis in front of green ivy. She is wearing a Princeton jacket. The text below reads: "Ashley, from Audubon, NJ, graduated from Princeton’s Civil and Environmental Engineering department and will begin a PhD in Earth System Science at Stanford. She worked with the IGWMC on bias-correcting meteorological inputs for ParFlow and conducted fieldwork at Snodgrass hillslope in Colorado. Her senior thesis used ParFlow to model the effects of warming on transpiration in the East-Taylor Watershed." The graphic includes Princeton and IGWMC logos.
We’re sending a big congratulations to 3 graduating undergrads from PU’s Class of 2025! 🎓These 3 have done great work with HMEI and the IGWMC.
