Barton is a complex systems scientist who combines anthropology, archaeology, earth science, and information technologies to study long-term dynamics and interactions of people and landscapes in the Anthropocene.

Heimsath researches how the earth's surface changes under the influence of climate, tectonic and human forcing. He runs a geochemistry lab to quantify surface processes and teaches undergraduate and graduate students.

Christensen uses spectroscopy, radiometry, field observations, numerical modeling, and builds flight instruments to study the geology and history of planets and moons.

Steven Semken is an ethnogeologist and geoscience education researcher who studies and practices place-based and culturally informed geoscience education, for a more diverse science and improved public geoscience literacy.

Williams' research focuses on the chemical composition of clays and their interactions with organics and microbes.

Sharp teaches mineralogy, field geology, and electron microscopy. His research interests include impacts and shock metamorphism in meteorites, high-pressure minerals and phase transformations in Earth's mantle.

Julia Johnson is a geologist and geoscience-education researcher. Her geologic research focuses on the geology of Arizona, and her education research involves the use of concept sketches in geoscience learning and teaching.

Burt is professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and an economic geologist with experience in mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry.

James Tyburczy is a mineral physicist studying the physical and chemical properties of minerals, melts, and rocks. He also studies environmental geophysics, effects of shock and implications for early planetary evolution.

Ramon Arrowsmith studies active faults, topography, and the geology of earthquakes. He teaches Field Geology these days and is currently the School of Earth and Space Exploration's Associate Director for Operations.
