Amelia Paukert

Amelia Paukert (RECS 2009) is a Ph.D. Student at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. Her research focus is mineral carbon sequestration in the Samail Ophiolite in the Sultanate of Oman and involves analyzing naturally occurring water-rock interactions within the ophiolite to determine how the mineral sequestration process could be artificially enhanced. Prior to Columbia University, Amelia spent a year as a Fulbright Fellow in Almaty, Kazakhstan where she studied the implementation of international water rights treaties in Central Asia. Amelia graduated from the University of Southern California in 2006 with a B.S. in Geology and a B.A. in International Relations.
