Department Directory
Professor
I am a geophysicist with interests in seismic imaging and source studies applied to diverse Earth processes that encompass deep structure, earthquakes, volcanos, ocean processes, and glaciers.
Master Instructor
I am a geoscientist interested in the lessons of Earth’s past about climate change, ocean circulation, and carbon cycling. I am also interested in advancing geoscience education, diversity and inclusion.
Research Associate II, National Park Service
Water Resources, Groundwater, Hydrology, Water Rights
Associate Professor
I am an Earth Scientist interested in landscape evolution, tectonics, critical zone science, and natural hazards.
Assistant Professor
I am a geochemist interested in the composition and plumbing systems of Earth’s volcanoes, studying long-lived mantle plumes to infer Earth’s chemical composition, and identifying and mitigating volcanic impacts and hazards.
Edward M. Warner Chair of Geophysics
Professor
I am a geophysicist focusing on geodynamic studies of continental rift systems and rifted continental margins.
Associate Professor
I am a structural geologist/hard rock petrologist, with interests in faults, shear zones, fault rocks, the geochemical and isotopic aspects of deformation, metamorphic and igneous petrology, and geoeducation including geophotography.
Associate Professor
I am a geoscientist who utilizes novel in situ geophysical and remote sensing tools to study earth surface processes, particularly related to the cryosphere. My research has involved more than 20 expeditions to Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska and Patagonia.
Department Head | Professor
Geomorphology and landscape evolution of the Western U.S., administration and promotion of geoscience programs
Professor
I am a fluvial geomorphologist with interests in drainage basin response and recovery to sediment disturbances including floods, fires and mass movements, the influences of climate change on channel morphology and vegetation-channel feedbacks, and process-based channel restoration and monitoring.
Malcolm McCallum Chair of Economic Geology
Associate Professor
I study economic geology building on a background in petrology, structural geology, field geology, inorganic and organic geochemistry. My current research projects examine fluid:ore interactions from magmas to environmental impacts.
Associate Professor
I am a hydrogeologist researching flow and transport through heterogeneous aquifers and connected groundwater-surface water systems. I develop groundwater management models to inform the sustainable use of water resources.
Assistant Professor
Paleoclimate, Geochemistry, Tectonic-Climate Interactions
Professor
I am a seismologist and geophysicist interested in understanding deep Earth structures and their effects on past and present tectonics and landscapes.
Associate Professor
structural geology, geologic mapping, tectonics of the North American Cordillera
Associate Professor
I am a geoscientist and petroleum engineer interested in applied reservoir modeling, using outcrops as quantitative subsurface analogs, and creating methodologies to build more predictive sedimentological and reservoir/flow models.
Associate Professor and Associate Department Head for Curricular Affairs
I am a geologist with research interests that include Sedimentary petrology and geochemistry, shale geology, fluid/rock interaction, chemical weathering, clastic diagenesis.
Research Associate III, National Park Service Cooperator
Providing natural resource management support to National Park Service units across the country
University Distinguished Professor
I am a fluvial geomorphologist studying a broad range of topics within the field of geomorphology such as fluvial and hillslope geomorphology, paleohydrology and channel change.
Professor Emeritus
I am a structural geologist with interests in Laramide tectonics, fault-related folding, fabric analysis and Rocky Mountain geology in general.
Professor Emeritus
My geology interests include fluvial sedimentology, stratigraphy, petroleum geology, basin analysis. After retiring from full-time teaching, I became a part time instructor in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at CSU.
