Transcription

Early life and education

Cox is from Ireland.[1] She says she became interested in geology as a teenager, because her geography teacher "delighted in the natural world,".[2] She attended University College Dublin for her undergraduate degree, where she majored in geology. After earning her bachelor's degree, Cox moved to BP, where she worked as a geological assistant. She moved to the United States for her graduate research, joining Stanford University as a doctoral student. After earning her doctorate, Cox was appointed to the Rand Afrikaans University as a postdoctoral researcher. She spent two years in South Africa before returning to North America.[2]

Research and career

Cox joined the faculty at Williams College in 1996, and was eventually promoted to Edward Brust Professor of Geology and Mineralogy. In 2019 she was concurrently appointed a Visiting Professor in the School of Earth Sciences at UCD.[3]

Cox's research considers how storm waves move boulders.[2] She has studied the impact of strong storms (some equivalent to category 3 hurricanes) on Ireland's west coast, with focus on the Aran Islands.[4] In particular, she showed that 2013-14 Atlantic winter storms in Europe moved numerous hundred-tonne boulders, so-called 'megagravel' the largest ever dislocated by the waves of storms.[5][6][7] Her team also demonstrated formation of new boulders quarried from bedrock by wave action, well above sea level.[2] In 2020, she was awarded a new grant from the National Science Foundation to study the dynamic evolution of boulder beaches.[8]

From 2012 to 2016, Cox served as editor of the journal Geology, and went on to serve on the editorial board.[9]
