Profiles in "Geological Processes" Expertise Area

  • Nicole specializes in remote sensing for geological sciences and has been a part of several of ASU's very own space exploration missions!
  • Geo-genomics, speciation, Earth-life coevolution
  • Dr. Thompson is a geochemist with a special interest in ancient marine environments. She is also a professor of geology, planetary science, astronomy, and environmental science.
  • Now a Postdoc at the at SESE/ASU, Hannes Bernhardt did his PhD in Muenster, Germany on the geomorphology of Hellas Planitia, Mars.
  • Mara is a Faculty Associate. Her work studies the influence of shock on 40Ar/39Ar ages, likely exoplanet mantle petrology using stellar abundance observation, and civic engagement in government agency science prioritization.
  • PhD candidate, Geological Sciences at ASU, studying water–rock interactions and microbial processes in hydrothermal ecosystems by integrating field/lab work, geochemistry, thermodynamic modeling, and microbial sequencing
  • Huff is focused on using remotely sensed data to produce maps. Her study sites range from the seafloor of Santorini Volcano, Greece, to the Athabasca lava flows of Mars.
