Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuzanne Dickinson is a scientific programmer and data analyst with over 8 years at the University of Washington’s Polar Science Center, and more than two decades of hands-on experience studying air-sea interaction and ocean circulation. She combines domain expertise in sea ice, ocean topography, and satellite remote sensing with practical coding skills in MATLAB, C, Fortran, and Python to turn multi-decadal satellite records into actionable insights. Her work blends statistical rigor with visualization to reveal trends in sea ice albedo, ocean heating, and storm-driven processes, and she has mapped subtle signals such as surface current signatures within scatterometer winds. Based in Seattle, Suzanne brings a research-driven mindset from a Master’s in Atmospheric Sciences and a physics undergraduate background, translating complex geophysical problems into reproducible analyses. Colleagues value her ability to bridge observational datasets and modeling perspectives to illuminate changing ocean-surface dynamics.
