Miles Harbury

Ph.D. Student, CEOAS

Education & Positions Held:

B.S. Geology/Geophysics, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (2014)

Certificate in Geographic Information Science, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (2022)

M.S. Geology, University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee (2023)

Ph.D. Ocean, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University (expected 2027)

Research Interests:

Interested in past geomagnetic field behavior and the story told by sediments.  Research at OSU implements magnetostratigraphic intercalibration of sites in the Labrador Sea for the development of reliable age modeling in glacial proximal regions. Past research has focused on investigating the transport of glaciomarine sediments via magnetic anisotropy.

Other Interests:

I am also interested in geographic information science (GIS), science education, and the delivery of scientific information to a broad audience. As my research focuses on changes in Earth’s northern ice center, I feel that expressing climate change related data is an important yet delicate topic of discussion and should be approached with strategy, inclusivity, and understanding.
