Profiles in "Geological Processes" Expertise Area

  • 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 Deputy Director.
  • Dr. Robinson serves as the PI for the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera. He is also the PI for a new NASA lunar imaging experiment ShadowCam, which is now under development.
  • Biren has a keen interest in asteroid impacts. After a Post Doc dating terrestrial impact structures with the U-Th/He method he joined Chris Skiba in supporting SESE Safety, Laboratories, Classrooms, and Field Courses
  • Nari enjoys connecting local and regional processes; from hillslope topography and sediment production to landscape evolution.
  • I study surface features on Jupiter's icy moon Europa to understand internal processes and assess its potential for habitability. Most of my work centers around geological mapping, image processing, and statistical analyses.
