Carole Gilbert was born by the Mediterranean Sea in the small city
of Menton in southern France. She later moved to the western coast
of North America where she grew up by the water, moving from place
to place every two years or so. Eventually ending up in Montreal,
Canada, Carole decided to combine her passion for the outdoors with
her interest in science to become a geologist. She is currently pursuing
her B.Sc (Honors) at McGill University in Earth Science and is having
the time of her life! Over the last few years she has developed a
fascination with geochemistry and is working in projects ranging
from sediment diagenesis in the Canadian Arctic to natrocarbonatite
petrogenesis at the Oldoinyo Lengai volcano in Tanzania.
Always
up for a challenge, she loves field work and is always looking to
exceed her limits and do something bigger, better and more exciting
than before. The prospect of eventually working on rocks from Mars
is hence what brought her to MDRS.
