Sebastian Sailing in Boston Harbor
Sebastian
Belfanti started last week as one of our newest class of interns here at Save
the Harbor/Save the Bay. Originally from Newark, NJ Sebastian attended high
school in upstate New York where he was a captain of the school rowing team and
worked with researchers at Columbia and Stanford Universities. Sebastian
attended college at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA where he received
his BS in geology, a minor in history, and used geochemical analysis to
identify the source of gold deposits in the Chandalar Mining Region of Northern
Alaska. Sebastian just recently completed his MSc studying the granites of
Yosemite National Park, CA, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. During
his studies he completed fieldwork in 11 U.S. States, as well as South Tirol
and Elba in Italy, and developed a new methodology for imaging of granitic
minerals.

He is
now looking to expand into a career where his work will have a more immediate
impact, and he joins us at Save the Harbor/Save the Bay to gain experience
working in policy, advocacy, and to gain exposure to non-profit work generally.
He looks forward to contributing a strong scientific background, and learning
as much as possible over the next few months with us.
