Lauren Paige Seaby, daughter of Bob and Mary Lynn Seaby of Bainbridge Island, successfully defended her doctoral dissertation, “Uncertainty in Hydrological Change Modeling,” at the University of Copenhagen in November and was awarded a doctorate’s degree in hydrology.

Seaby began a postdoc position in environmental risk at Roskilde University outside Copenhagen in December, where she works with terrestrial hydrological modeling of nitrogen loading from estuary catchments into the Danish fjords, considering projected climate changes and land use management strategies.

She is a graduate of Western Washington University in Bellingham.
