Who I Am...
I am an avid cyclist and enjoy exploring the great outdoors in any means possible -- via bike, boats, or on foot! I love to travel and my research takes me all over the globe: from the mountainous landscapes of Svalbard to the expansive ice sheets in Antarctica. These passions spur my deep commitment to the preservation of our environment and the concise and accurate communication of environmental science to a greater audience.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are interested in collaborations at mweihaas@gmail.com
What I do...
I am a phD candidate in Environmental Chemistry at Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio. My current research is focused on the chemistry of lakes and streams at the Poles and how human impact extends even to these remote environments.
In addition to my research, I am passionate about the clear communication of science through illustration and descriptive graphics. It is through these images that I hope to share my passion for the processes that shape our planet.
