Research

The areas of research covered by our faculty are broad and diverse, however, our research expertise is strongest in the general areas of geochemistry and tectonics. These strengths allow us to focus on problems identified by the National Research Council to be socially relevant and to be fundamental to an understanding of earth processes.
