Professor Frank studies and explores factors that regulate the structure, species composition, biodiversity and energy, and nutrient metabolisms in terrestrial ecosystems. Since 1988, he has researched the effects of grazing ungulates, such as elk, bison, and pronghorn, on the grasslands…

Dr. Amy Criss is an expert in cognitive science, investigating memory in particular. To best facilitate the development of a comprehensive and accurate model of memory, her research tests existing models to identify core assumptions and critical data necessary to…

Dr. Sandra Hewett, Professor of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences,  studies the molecular and biochemical processes that occur after a brain injury and the role of astrocytes in the inflammatory response to brain injury. Astrocytes are star-shaped…

Mark Nerenhausen serves as both founding director and professor of practice of the Janklow Arts Leadership Program. He brings more than two decades of professional arts administration experience to Syracuse University, having most recently served as president and CEO of…

Dr. Scholz’s research focuses on recovering records of past climate from lake basins, and on the sedimentary basin analysis of extensional systems, with emphasis on lacustrine basins. Current research efforts are concentrated on the large lakes of tropical Africa and…

Dr. Moucha’s primary research interest entails the coupling of landscape evolution models with geodynamics. Such models, together with independent geophysical techniques and geological observations, provide a roadmap for a greatly improved understanding of the tectonic evolution of our planet. Current…

Dr. Junium is a sedimentary and organic geochemist with a focus on the redox evolution of the Earth, specializing in biogeochemical cycling. His research interests span the spectrum of geologic time from the Archean to modern systems. Currently, he is…

Professor Ivany’s work fits broadly into the fields of earth history and paleobiology.  Most research projects lie at the intersection of marine paleoecology and paleoclimate, and relate to how ecosystems and their component taxa evolve and respond to changes in…

Colleen Cameron is a Professor of Practice in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at Syracuse University, focusing on the intersection of curriculum and practice. Professor Cameron is a Certified Child Life Specialist and has held various appointments…
