 BAYLOR FOX-KEMPER, Assistant ProfessorGeochemistry Building, Room 133 401-863-3979 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Baylor_Fox-Kemper@brown.edu I study the physics of the ocean and its role in past, present, and future climate. I use models that range from the global scale to focused process models that apply universally. |
 MEREDITH HASTINGS, Joukowsky Family Assistant ProfessorGeochemistry Building, Room 139 401-863-3658 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Meredith_Hastings@brown.edu My research focuses on the reactive nitrogen cycle, with an emphasis on nitrate deposition. I have a joint appointment with Geology & ECI. |
 TIM HERBERT, Professor & ChairGeochemistry Building, Room 139 401-863-1207 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Timothy_Herbert@brown.edu Understanding how the earth's climatic system, particularly the ocean, adjusts itself to perturbation on various timescales drives most aspects of my research. |
 YONGSONG HUANG, ProfessorGeochemistry Building, Room 147 401-863-3822 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Yongsong_Huang@brown.edu I bring new capabilities for studies of lake and marine sediments in terms of isotopic measurements of organic substances. |
 AMANDA LYNCH, ProfessorMacMillan Hall, Room 111 401-863-1264 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Amanda_Lynch@brown.edu My research interests focus primarily on the role of polar cyclones in the climate system, and on the policy implications of extreme weather in small and indigenous communities. I have a joint appointment with Geology and ECI. |
|
 JIM RUSSELL, Associate ProfessorGeochemistry Building, Room 143 401-863-6330 > 401-863-2058 (fax) James_Russell@brown.edu I use late Neogene lake sediments to investigate millennial to decadal-scale climate changes, focusing on tropical Africa and Indonesia. |
|
 JESSICA WHITESIDE, Assistant ProfessorGeochemistry Building, Room 125 401-863-3339 > 401-863-2058 (fax) Jessica_Whiteside@brown.edu I investigate the effects of biological evolution and externally-driven environmental change on ecosystem evolution using Phanerozoic lacustrine sedimentary rocks. |
