Collecting lake water samples at Lake Vanda, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (See Bess Ward's Research pages)
Why is the Earth habitable? How will human activities affect its future? We address these questions in research that includes fieldwork, laboratory experiments, and mathematical modeling related to the following topics:
- Tectonics, Structural Geology, and Petrology
- Seismology and Computational Geodynamics
- Paleontology and Earth History
- Environmental Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycles
- Molecular Geochemistry and Mineral Physics
- Biological, Physical, and Chemical Oceanography
- Physics and Chemistry of Atmosphere and Meteorology
