| The Sedimentary Geology Research Group at
Stanford University studies
a variety of problems in basin analysis, deep-water systems,
micropaleontology,
and Archean environmental conditions. This group is led by professors Don
Lowe , Steve
Graham and Jim
Ingle . In addition, the Sed
Group collaborates with a larger group
of faculty in the department, including Jonathan
Payne (paleobiology), Rob
Dunbar (stable isotopes, oceanography), Adina
Paytan (oceanography and paleoclimatology), George
Hilley (tectonic geomorphology, quantitative structure, GIS) and Mike
Moldowan (organic geochemistry, biomarkers). |
Sed Group meetings are in Geocorner 109
every Friday at noon.
Come by with your lunch...we will provide beverages!
