Hervig uses the elemental and isotopic chemistry of earth and extraterrestrial materials to deduce their origin and evolution. The main analytical tool he uses is secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS).

Steve Ruff is a planetary geologist with a focus on the mineralogy of Mars determined via infrared spectroscopy, part of an effort to understand its geologic history and potential for past habitability.

Melanie Barboni is an isotope geochemist/igneous petrologist whose research focuses on understanding magmatic systems, both on Earth and other planetary bodies.

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.

Julia Clarke is a second-year Ph.D. student in Geological Sciences working under Christy Till in the EPIC Lab. Her research focuses on magma storage conditions and eruption mechanisms at hazardous volcanoes in the Cascades.
