FACULTY<br />
Suzanne L. Baldwin – sbaldwin@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Baldwin specializes in noble gas thermochronology, P-T-t evolution <strong>of</strong> crustal terranes,<br />
plate boundary processes in the southwest Pacific, continental extensional tectonics.<br />
Paul G. Fitzgerald – pgfitzge@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Fitzgerald specializes in low-temperature thermochronology (fission track, U-Th/He)<br />
applied to tectonics in extensional, convergent and strike-slip regimes. He has projects in<br />
Antarctica, the Basin and Range Province, Papua New Guinea, Alaska and the Pyrenees.<br />
Gregory D. Hoke – gdhoke@syr.edu<br />
Dr. Hoke studies the interactions <strong>of</strong> climate and tectonics on the earth’s surface using<br />
geomorphology and the stratigraphic record. His active research projects are in the southern<br />
central Andes and SE Tibet.<br />
Linda C. Ivany – lcivany@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Ivany specializes in evolutionary paleoecology, geobiology, and paleoclimatology.<br />
Jeffrey A. Karson – jakarson@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Jeff Karson’s expertise lies in structural geology and tectonics <strong>of</strong> oceanic spreading centers<br />
and the relationships between magmatic construction and mechanical extension.<br />
Laura K. Lautz – lklautz@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Lautz specializes in physical hydrologic processes and their influence on water quality and<br />
movement through watersheds.<br />
Zunli Lu – zunlilu@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Lu specializes in low temperature geochemistry and uses a variety <strong>of</strong> methods (trace<br />
elements, isotopes and models) to investigate crustal fluids, carbon cycle and global<br />
environmental changes.<br />
Cathryn R. Newton – crnewton@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Newton’s scholarly work involves studies <strong>of</strong> modern and ancient biodiversity, including the<br />
quantitative dynamics <strong>of</strong> ancient and modern mass extinction.<br />
Scott D. Samson – sdsamson@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Samson’s research includes U-Pb geochronology and Nd-Sr-Pb isotope geochemistry. These<br />
techniques are used to address diverse topics ranging from tephrochronology, to unraveling the<br />
evolution <strong>of</strong> orogenic belts, to tracking the birthplaces <strong>of</strong> suspect terranes.<br />
Christopher A. Scholz – cascholz@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Scholz specializes in sedimentary geology, the geologic record <strong>of</strong> climate change,<br />
paleolimnology, and sedimentary basin analysis.<br />
Donald I. Siegel – disiegel@syr.edu<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Siegel is interested in peatland hydrogeology and geochemistry, contaminant transport in<br />
groundwater systems, and competitive chess.
