ABOUT MEADRIANA PIÑAHello there! I am a PhD. Candidate in Geology in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology from México. My research focuses on solving problems related to the evolution of plate boundaries and the analysis of oceanic basins using geophysical and geochemical techniques. I completed my B.S. (with highest honors) in Geology at the University of Sonora, México, in 2020 and my M.Sc. in Geology at the California Institute of Technology in 2023. For my B.S. thesis, I was awarded the Francisco Medina Martinez prize granted by the Mexican Geophysical Union for the best Earth and Planetary Sciences bachelor's thesis in Mexico in 2020. |
"El mar llovido se moja, agua sin sal hiere el agua salada con la impudicia de su juventud. El mar es viejo, por eso sabe a sal y a profecías."
(The rain-fallen sea wets itself; fresh water wounds the salt water with the shamelessness of youth. The sea is old — that is why it tastes of salt and prophecies)
