About Emme Kasprzyk
Emme Kasprzyk is a geology graduate and early-career paleoenvironmental researcher with experience in sediment core analysis, fossil pollen processing, and multiproxy reconstruction of environmental change.
She graduated from James Madison University (JMU) in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science in Geology and a concentration in Life, Ocean, & Climate (Major GPA 3.38).
Emme currently serves as a U.S. Geological Survey Research Volunteer at the Florence Bascom Geoscience Center in Reston, Virginia, where she is sampling and processing sediment core material and contributing to multiproxy climate and moisture reconstructions.
Her recent research has focused on tidal marsh cores, fossil pollen, and paleoenvironmental change through time, including work at JMU and conference presentations at GSA and AGU.
