Aviva Intveld

Graduate Student

I am a first-year PhD student with Professor Gisela Winckler. I use U/Th isotopes to reconstruct records of dust fluxes during the last interglacial to investigate atmospheric circulation during warmer-than-present periods of the earth’s past. Previously, I received my Bachelor of Science in Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at MIT in 2023 and my MPhil in Earth Sciences as a Gates-Cambridge Scholar at the University of Cambridge in 2024. My master's thesis paired paleoclimate, geochemistry, and archaeology to reconstruct a high-resolution terrestrial paleoclimate record of the Common Era. I am passionate about policy-actionable science and museum-based learning.
