Dr. Carmichael received a B.A. in geology from Smith College in 1998.  She worked for several years as a hydrogeologist, specializing in PCB contamination in fractured bedrock in the Hudson River.  She returned to academia and got her MA and PhD in Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.  Her research at Johns Hopkins took her to the Dolomites of northern Italy, where she studied massive replacement dolomitization from a metamorphic petrologist’s point of view. 

After completing her PhD, she went to the University of New Hampshire as a postdoc and abandoned the mountaintops to explore the bottom of the ocean in the DSV Alvin and with the ROV Jason.  Her current research explores fluid-rock interactions in altered basalt in a hydrothermal upflow zone at the 9°50'N East Pacific Rise (EPR) Integrated Study Site (ISS)
