The department has a long history of applied research in economic geology, which emphasizes the application of general geological and geochemical principles to the understanding…
Research in Geophysics at the University of Georgia specializes in the use of varied imaging techniques to deduce the structure of the crust and upper mantle. Rob Hawman uses seismograph arrays to investigate the structure of the crust and uppermost…
Research in sedimentary geology at the University of Georgia emphasizes the sedimentology, diagenesis, and stratigraphy of modern and ancient carbonate systems. Bruce Railsback’s research seeks to recover records of paleoenvironmental change from…
Research in Structural Geology and Tectonics at the University of Georgia focuses on orogenesis (mountain-building) at active continental margins and on the dispersal pathways of tectonic terranes due to plate tectonics. Previous research focuses have been…
The Environmental Geosciences group maintains a strong interdisciplinary focus and is closely linked to scholars in related fields throughout the University of Georgia. Active research programs include Hydrogeology, Environmental Geochemistry, and Environmental…
Research in Geoarchaeology at the University of Georgia involves many specialty areas of Earth Science from sedimentology to shallow geophysics. Research includes the study of coastal and marine prehistoric archaeological sites and the reconstruction of Pleistocene…
Members of the Geochemistry research group at the University of Georgia share an interest in using the distinctive crystallochemical and geochemical behaviors of major and trace elements, and their stable and radiogenic isotopes, as probes into a wide variety of…
Research in geomicrobiology at the University of Georgia focuses on the interaction of microbial life with the Earth systems. We study the role of microbes in biogeochemical processes and leverage concepts of geomicrobiology to achieve environmental…
Research in paleobiology at the University of Georgia specializes in paleoecology and taphonomy, particularly for protists and marine invertebrates, in settings ranging in age from the lower Paleozoic to the Holocene. Susan Goldstein’s research focuses on the biology…
Research in petrology at the University of Georgia centers on the compositional evolution of the crust and upper mantle. Previous research focuses have been on the origin and evolution of the Earth’s continents (…
Research in planetary geology at the University of Georgia ranges from planetary surfaces to interiors. We investigate the evolution of planetary bodies by geochemical analysis of meteorites from Mars and other bodies to gain insight into their volcanic histories and…
