Transcript of Earth & Environmental Sciences Faculty & Research … in clastic sedimentary rocks. W. Ashley...
Andrew Hunt, Ph.D., Liverpool University, UK, 1988 [email protected] Environmental Geochemistry and Medical GeologyMapping the exposure topology for susceptible populations to toxic metals in the environment, modifying geochemical environment of surface deposits (urban soils) to reduce toxic threat posed by heavy metals, and investigating health e�ects of inhaled particles.
Majie Fan, Ph.D., University of Arizona, 2009 [email protected] Geology and Basin AnalysisApplying sedimentology, stratigraphy, isotope geochemistry, and basin subsidence modeling to investigate basin evolution histories, tectonic processes, and climatic and environmental changes recorded in clastic sedimentary rocks.
W. Ashley Gri�th, Ph.D., Stanford University, 2008 wagri�@uta.eduStructural Geology and Rock MechanicsDevelopment and dynamic behavior of brittle structures observed in rocks using experimental and continuum mechanical models. Collecting �eld data and using physics-based models to learn about the processes that govern the behavior of fractures in Earth’s crust.
Elizabeth Gri�th, Ph.D., Stanford University, 2008 lgri�@uta.eduPaleoceanography and Stable Isotope GeochemistryGeochemical tracers (non-traditional metal stable isotopes (Ca, Sr) and standard tracers) in the modern environment and ancient samples to test our understanding of biogeochemical cycling in the ocean as well as employing more traditional paleoclimate proxies.
Qinhong (Max) Hu, Ph.D., University of Arizona 1995 [email protected] and Reservoir CharacterizationFluid �ow and chemical transport in porous and fractured media, in the context of sustainable energy (shale gas and oil production, nuclear energy and waste disposal, and geothermal exploration), environment, and water resources management.
Asish Basu, Ph.D., University of California, Davis, 1975 [email protected] and Isotope GeochemistryApplication of trace elements, major elements and isotopes in studying Earth processes. Petrology and geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks. Applications of Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr, 40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb systematics in geochronology and thermochronology.
Glen Mattioli, Ph.D., Northwestern University 1987; [email protected] GPS geodesy to investigate convergent margin plate kinematics and plate boundary processes; detecting and modeling of volcanic deformation in actively erupting and quiescent arc volcanoes. Applications of InSAR, LIDAR, and borehole strain.
Merlynd Nestell, Ph.D., Oregon State University 1966; [email protected] Pennsylvanian - Permian biostratigraphy, fusulinaceans and other foraminifers of the late Paleozoic, especially of the Tethys, biostratigraphy of accreted terranes of the Paci�c Northwest, Middle Permian foraminifers and conodonts in West Texas.
Galina Nestell, Ph.D., All Russian Geological Research Insitute, St. Petersburg, Russia 1990; [email protected] and PaleobiologyBiostratigraphy, evolution and distribution of foraminifers of the Ordovician and Silurian, foraminifers of Permian – Triassic boundary strata, and foraminifers and radiolarians of the Permian.
Arne Winguth, Ph.D., University of Hamburg, Germany, 1987; [email protected] Oceanography and ClimatologyOceanic and atmospheric dynamics and their interactions with biogeochemical cycles over a broad range of Earth history. Assimilation of ocean color data into an inverse 3-D ocean carbon cycle model Earth system modeling for future and past climates and ocean circulation.
John Wickham, Ph.D., The Johns Hopkins University, 1969; [email protected] GeologyMeasurement of natural strain and its relationship to folds and faults, numerical and physical modeling of geologic deformation, fracturing and fracture density, regional structural geology including Ouachitas, Arbuckles, Appalachians, U.S. & Canadian Rocky Mountains.
