Sue Carter Field: Physics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1996
Research Interests
er research focuses on understanding the effects that disorder, electron correlations, magnetism, and structure have on metal-insulator transition materials. She uses a diverse array of techniques to study these systems, including optical spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and electrical transport.

Lisa C. Sloan Field: Geology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
isa Sloan studies the causes of warm climates in the Eocene and Paleocene eras. Sloan's work combines studies of past climates based on geologic evidence with computer modeling of Earth's climatic systems. Research on past climates can shed light on current and future climatic and environmental change, she says. Much of her work has focused on unusually warm intervals in Earth's history, such as the period 55 million years ago when crocodiles lived within the Arctic Circle and palm trees grew in what is now Wyoming.
