Geochemistry explores the chemical interactions between and among Earth’s spheres, including the chemistry of the physical environment and anthropogenic impacts. Geochemists essentially use chemical tools to u […]

Igneous and metamorphic processes govern the rock cycle, from the formation of rocks at mid-ocean ridges, through subduction, collision, and continental rifting. Petrologic concepts help us understand the Earth […]

A course about minerals, rocks, and soils. We practice identifying and describing Earth materials using their physical, optical, and chemical properties. We learn to use field and lab techniques to test hypotheses […]

Natural hazards will affect most of us at some point in our lives. We will investigate spectacular hazards, like volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and hazards that are far less dramatic, but no less dangerous, […]

Mid-ocean ridges are the single largest volcanic feature on Earth. My research uses the mineralogical and chemical compositions of the ocean floor to understand the magmatic and tectonic processes that form the […]

Our research explores magma transport and crystallization processes in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP), a large igneous province that was erupted on Pangaea just before the supercontinent rifted […]

Ice Springs Volcanic Field in Utah’s Black Rock Desert is made of nested cinder cones and their associated lava flows. My research uses petrological data, major and trace element geochemistry, and cosmogenic […]

I am a high-temperature geochemist that uses the compositions of Earth materials to understand how they form and evolve. Most of my research involves analyses in our Wooster X-ray and geochemistry labs. Our X-ray […]

A volcanic eruption in the presence of ice or meltwater can be extremely hazardous, injecting huge amounts of ash into the atmosphere and generating catastrophic glacial outburst floods. But there is so much we […]

Undergraduate research is a theme that extends across all aspects of my career. I am a Councilor for the Geosciences Division of the Council on Undergraduate Research and have been facilitating faculty development […]

I’ve done a variety of things in my life for a job. Fast food employee, warehouse worker, grocery store shelf-stocker, golf caddy, corn detasseler. And, this past week, I pursued gainful employment as a snake c […]

Tree Corpsvisits the Wooster Tree Ring Lab. Tree Corps is a program run out of the Holden Arboretum designed to provide training to the arboriculture workforce in the Cleveland Area. It is funded by the Cleveland […]

I call this a course on “nonsense” for a reason: I am a skeptic by personality and my scientific profession. I support explanations of natural and historical events that are the simplest and best fit the available […]

The Wooster Tree Ring Lab collaborated on a publication describing the recent thermal history of the Lidder Valley, Northwest Himalaya. Dr. Santosh Shah, the lead author, is a multitalented paleoclimatologist at […]

Dr. Ben Gaglioti (Lamont-Doherty Tree Ring Laband University of Alaska – Fairbanks) just published an article entitled: Timing and Potential Causes of 19th-Century Glacier Advances in Coastal Alaska Based on […]
