General field of Aqueous Geochemistry.

Application of geochronology to solve tectonic problems

Seismic tomography, inverse methods, anisotropy, and attenuation.

Structural geology and tectonics and are focused on deformational and thermal processes within continental lithosphere.

Uses stable and radiogenic isotope systems to develop methods to explore the long-term geochemical evolution of the Earth

Seismological and geodetic methods to constrain the source characterization of moderate and large earthquakes

Geological record of climate change and its causes/consequnces, marine geochemistry and the carbon cycle, present-day global climate change, and pathways to carbon neutrality.

Chemical and physical processes that cycle materials and elements in the earth system.

Stratigraphic correlation and age model development for compilation and statistical analysis of paleoclimate data on orbital to millennial timescales.

Application of genomics and phylogenomics to explore the past and current evolution of life in the context of Earth's history.

Volcano seismology, volcano acoustics. Volcanic processes and eruption dynamics. Seismology, infrasound, and seismo-acoustics.

Application of field geology, geochronology, and remote sensing to understand the dynamics, growth, and erosion of tectonically active regions, especially subduction zones

Focuses on the rise of complex life, from the fossils of early eukaryotes to the first widespread appearance of skeletal animals.

Mechanisms of organic matter preservation and organic sulfur cycling in the environment

Application of geochronology, geochemistry, and petrology to study igneous and tectonic processes.

Geochemistry and Petrology, Continent Formation and Evolution.

Focuses on the processes that shape and the Quaternary history of shallow marine settings with a particular emphasis on reconstructing past records of sea-level change.

Interested in understanding the deep earth structure as well as the near-surface environment.

Drawn to environmental problems at the interface of geochemistry, microbiology, the ocean and society.

Climate changes to constrain the magnitude and pace of climate warmings and climatic feedback processes.

Field collection of fossil synapsids, mostly mammals. Description of their anatomy, often dental, placing these taxa into their phylogenetic and stratigraphic context.
