Logan’s research interests currently lie at the intersection of climate and environmental science. She is a geochemist that studies past climate change in tropical regions. She applies these same methodologies to answer questions about modern coastal conditions. Her current projects involve studying the geochemical composition of coral skeletons to develop histories of ocean temperature, precipitation, salinity, and coastal factors such as river discharge.

In addition to her research, Logan is passionate about science communication, science and policy, and the role STEM plays in higher education.
