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…
