Researchers at the Experimental Geochemistry Lab focus on fundamental problems in the science of geology and geochemistry, and seek to apply these fundamentals to understanding problems of societal ...

Using radioactive isotope systems to determine the age and origins of minerals and rocks, primarily as tracers of magmatic processes and the evolution of the earth. Organic molecules in natural waters ...

We strive to unravel the mechanisms driving biological adaptation to environmental stressors through chemical modifications of cell membrane lipids (biomarkers). We use this knowledge to reconstruct ...

The Department of Geosciences at Western Michigan University hosts an energetic and growing program of diverse geochemical research. Faculty explore a range of socially and scientifically relevant ...

Geochemistry is the study of the chemical composition of the Earth and other planets, and the chemical processes that affect them. High-resolution isotope data show that a modern-like, oxygen-rich ...

Changes in water levels beneath Earth's surface caused by glacier snowmelt and rainfall could be responsible for triggering small but frequent earthquakes in New Zealand's central Southern Alps, ...

The formation and evolution of the icy moons of giant planets are of particular interest in planetary science, because several such satellites in the Solar System could have subsurface oceans of water ...
