For the past three years I have lived in Cambridge, MA pursuing my doctoral degree at M.I.T. Besides heading off to college in Ithaca, New York, I am a true Bostonian, having grown up in Revere, Massachusetts. I attended Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in the fall of 2001. I earned my dual B.S’s, from the College of Engineering in the Winter of 2004 in Atmospheric Sciences & Biological and Environmental Engineering. I completed my Masters of Science at M.I.T. looking at improving the accuracy of a regional climate model’s (RegCM3) simulation of the hydroclimatology of semiarid regions. In my spare time, I like to keep active. Some of my favorite activities include live music/concerts, traveling, weight lifting, running, my saltwater fish, reading, white water rafting, Apple technology, my plants & sports. Being from Boston, I am an avid Red Sox, Patriots, & Celtics fan. More about me can found on my personal webpage here.http://mit.edu/marcpace/wwwshapeimage_9_link_0
