Helen Latting, CC’24
Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Helen Latting majored in Earth Science at Columbia and was a member of the Women's rowing team. Her interest in paleoceanography began while working in the McManus lab at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory campus on research focusing on deep water circulation in the North Atlantic. This year, while rowing at the University of Washington in Seattle, she continued her paleo-focused research by examining past sediment fluxes off the western coast of South America. In Norway, she will reconstruct past deep water fluxes off the coast of Norway in collaboration with researchers at the University of Bergen. Beyond paleoceanography, Helen loves cross country skiing and can't wait to find some good snow in Norway.
