Geochemistry Building, Room 044
401-863-1920 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Peter_Gromet@brown.edu
My major research interest is on understanding the processes that control the tectonic evolution of ancient collisional mountain belts.

PAUL HESS, Professor Emeritus
Geochemistry Building, Room 050
401-863-1929 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Paul_Hess@brown.edu
I focus on fundamental geochemical questions ranging from the atomistic scale to larger problems dealing with the igneous evolution of the Moon and Mars.

J. GREG HIRTH , Associate Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 035
401-863-7063 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Greg_Hirth@brown.edu
My interests are in experimental rock mechanics, deformation mechanisms in both crustal and mantle lithologies, structural geology, application of experimental flow laws to geophysical and geological observations. (Also does interdisciplinary research with the Tectonophysics group).

YAN LIANG, Associate Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 044
401-863-1920 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Yan_Liang@brown.edu
My general research interests are in the areas of laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and petrologic and geochemical applications of mass transfer in fluid systems.

STEPHEN PARMAN, Assistant Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 037
401-863-3352 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Stephen_Parman@brown.edu
My research focuses on the chemical evolution of the Earth, moons and planets.

MAC RUTHERFORD, Professor Emeritus
Geochemistry Building, Room 049
401-863-1927 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Malcolm_Rutherford@brown.edu
The focus of my research is the experimental, field, and theoretical investigations of the phase equilibria of calc-alkaline magmas.

ALBERTO SAAL, Associate Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 038
401-863-7238 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Alberto_Saal@brown.edu
I have broad interests in the application of geochemistry to problems of earth, planetary, and environmental science.

JAN TULLIS, Professor
Geochemistry Building, Room 033
401-863-1921 > 401-863-2058 (fax)
Jan_Tullis@brown.edu
My research involves experimental investigations of the deformation mechanisms, microstructures, and rheology of crustal rocks. (Also does interdisciplinary research with the Tectonophysics group).
