Reduced order modeling of chaotic and turbulent flows, quantification of extreme events in nonlinear systems, targeted energy transfer in mechanical systems, engergy harvesting from stochastic sources
Our lab group focuses on coupling analytical measurements with models of varying complexity, primarily using inert gases as quantitative tracers of physical processes in Nature
Interests: Air-Sea Interactions, Climate & paleoclimate, Geochemistry, Isotope & trace metal geochemistry, Ocean heat & carbon uptake, Water cycle Profile
I’m interested in Earth’s climate system & how it has operated under a range of past boundary conditions. To study this, I primarily work with ice core records from the polar regions.
Research interests of Timothy Shanks Molecular Ecology & Evolution Lab are focused on understanding ecological & evolutionary processes that structure the diversity of deep-ocean benthic communitie
Elizabeth Sibert’s research uses microfossils in marine sediments to reconstruct ecological & evolutionary dynamics across environmental change in earth’s history,
Composition, function, & activities of microbial communities in the dark ocean, with a focus on hydrothermal systems, chemolithoautotrophic processes, & microbes involved in the sulfur cycle.
