Bio: Chloe Rampersad is a geology student at Red Rocks Community College with a strong interest in glacial processes, coastal geology, and landscape evolution. She is especially drawn to the ways climate and geologic forces shape dynamic environments like coastlines and glacial systems. After beginning college at the Colorado School of Mines studying Environmental Engineering, she eventually found a better fit in geology, drawn to the way it combines fieldwork, science, and real world relevance. Her academic work reflects a growing focus on long term Earth processes and how they interact with environmental change. With a self motivated approach to learning and a deep curiosity about the natural world, Chloe hopes to contribute to research that supports both scientific understanding and environmental resilience. Outside of school, she enjoys reading fantasy fiction, hiking, and gaming.
