Jamie Austin has provided support vital to my scientific career. From funding for the USGS internships to general life advice, Jamie Austin has been one of my greatest proponents. He showed me what a geoscientist ought to be.

Clark Wilson played a vital role in the development of my scientific interests. From working on large datasets to coding challenges, Clark's guidance helped me prepare for the issues that come with research and how boundless optimism can overcome barriers.

Colin and Jake were my main advisors at the USGS, where they provided vital input on my research. They also provided general guidance on how to approach scientific problems from many approaches. Among other things, they showed me how to balance home life with research. [I couldn't find decent quality pictures of them]
