Lovely to e-meet you, my name is
Samantha Hordyk
I'm a Computational Environmental Scientist, specializing in process-based modeling, geospatial analysis, and community-engaged climate solutions. In all of my work, my aim is to help build a safer and more sustainable world.
About Me
As an environmental scientist with a background in independent computational research and interdisciplinary collaboration, I am focused on understanding and addressing complex environmental challenges. I recently earned my Master's in Geophysics at Stanford, where I studied the underlying processes of natural hazards with projects ranging from multiphase flow instabilities in melting permafrost to basal dynamics of ice streams.
Alongside my technical work, I have consistently pursued roles that bridge science and action, reaching beyond the scope of a traditional academic researcher while working in environmental policy, community engagement, and climate action. I am always looking for ways to turn research and scientific insight into work that creates a real impact for people and the planet.
