Professional work

Lozier was a post-doctoral fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution before joining the faculty at Duke University.[4] She is a principal investigator for the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP), responsible for coordinating its international and national projects.[5] Lozier was the first woman to graduate from the University of Washington's physical oceanography doctoral program, and is active in the community mentoring program, MPOWIR (Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention).[6] She is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Society, and the Oceanography Society.

Lozier was the featured speaker for the 16th Annual Roger Revelle Annual Commemorative Lecture, sponsored by the National Academies and held at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. on March 4, 2015, presenting her lecture on Overturning Assumptions: Past, Present, and Future Concerns about the Ocean's Circulation.[7]

gollark: - also the cubes, I guess
gollark: Well, various possibilities exist:- add "exist again" after "exit the zzcxz" - this could take you to a new area with more doors or something- somehow add a mysterious button on the wall of one of the halls which switches the door to osmarks.net mode (somehow²)- "go in an anomalous direction" (or somehow "go up"/"go down") in the initial room- in the bee room, one series of choices could allow access to it- the "sandy ground" area after going backward
gollark: Yes, that is what I was wondering.
gollark: Hmm, where would it actually go? I guess I could repurpose one of the doors.
gollark: Other osmarks.net server room™ possibilities: loud VRRRRRRRRR noises (unless it's liquid-cooled); blinky lights; maintenance robots; tunnels running to other places (with network cables).
