Bea is a geochemist Ph.D. candidate in the AstrobiologyOU Research Group at The Open University. Her main interest is in understanding the interaction between life and the environment through time and space. Her Ph.D. is embedded in a NASA-funded consortium research team investigating the Colorado Plateau, including Dr. Scott Perl, Dr. Justin Filiberto (PI), Dr. Susanne Schwenzer, Prof. Karen Olsson-Francis, Dr. Sally Potter-McIntyre and Dr. Jake Crandall. She specializes in field investigation and thermochemical modelling for the reconstruction of reaction pathways to aid in setting constraints on the habitability potential of planetary analog sites.
