General geophysics; seismically imaging the mantle of the earth; developing a three-dimensional image of shear velocity throughout the mantle of the earth; determining the dynamics of flow in the mantle; regional…
Dr. Hesse's research centers on mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of porous media in the earth and environmental sciences. It is motivated by fundamental interest in the dynamics of the underlying…
Sedimentary basin development and mountain building processes. Current studies utilize sedimentology, stratigraphy, geochronology, structural geology, and geochemistry to understand modern and ancient sedimentation,…
Process geomorphology, feedbacks between channel morphology and hydrology and sediment transport, landscape sensitivity to climate and lithology, bedrock river erosion, flash floods, arroyo erosion, canyon formation…
One big part of Dr. Ketcham's research is studying geological specimens in 3D using high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT), which is similar to CAT-scanning for humans but is optimized for imaging…
Quantitative stratigraphy, Shoreline dynamics, Morphodynamcis, Sediment transport, Deltaic sedimentation, River delta restoration, Coupled mathematical modeling and experimental stratigraphy.
Igneous petrology; application of isotope and trace element geochemistry to fundamental problems of the Earth’s origin and evolution; structure and chemical evolution of the mantle and crust; origin of mantle plumes…
Dr. Lavier's research focuses on large scale, tectonic questions, specifically the dynamic structural and geodynamical evolution of continental and oceanic rifts as well as collisional environments. To address…
