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.
