Understanding the nature of the Earth and planetary interiors as well as material sciences through direct examination of the properties of materials under high-pressure and high/low-temperature conditions, often by…
Geochronology and radioisotopes; isotope geology, especially to use naturally occurring radioactivity and its daughter products as a geologic clock (for example, to date the crystallization of a magma), and as a…
Vertebrate Paleontology. Research interests are Pleistocene and Holocene mammals with emphasis on paleo-environmental reconstructions and microevolutionary changes. Analysis of nonhuman skeletal material from…
Our team studies the connection between Earth and life through geological time; more specifically, our research elucidates the evolutionary and environmental events that have shaped ecosystems…
Fluid flow, delta systems, sediment transport, underwater landslides, wetlands loss, the evolution of terrestrial and submarine landscapes, the behavior of topography generated at the interface between a granular…
Dr. Mosher's research involves structural petrology and field-oriented structural geology. Her primary research interests are in the evolution of complexly deformed terranes, strain analysis, deformation…
Dr. Nakamura is a geophysicist with special interests in terrestrial and extraterrestrial seismology and expertise in seismic instrumentation. He was among the pioneering researchers who, during and following the…
