Geochemistry RESEARCH at Texas Tech UNIversity
Researchers
in geochemistry in the Department of Geosciences is diverse
and occurs across a spectrum of related disciplines. In the
department you will find ongoing research in experimental
aqueous geochemistry, the geochemical evolution of igneous
and metamorphic systems, stable isotopic studies of
vertebrate and invertebrate fossils, and the application of
geochemical analysis to understanding of water-rock
interactions in aquifers.
There are
three broadly defined research groups in the department, for
which more information can be found at the follow links:
-
-
-
Stable Isotope Geochemistry
Faculty members
in the Geochemistry group include:
-
Prof. Calvin Barnes (Geochemistry of igneous rocks)
-
Dr. Melanie Barnes (Application of (LA)-ICP-MS to Earth
Materials)
-
Dr. Callum
Hetherington (Geochemistry of Earth Materials)
-
Dr. Hal Karlsson (Stable Isotope Geochemistry)
-
Dr. Moira Ridley (Aqueous Geochemistry)
Research
is conducted using both in house laboratory facilities,
including:
-
-
-
The Laboratory for Stable Isotope Analysis
In addition to the 'in-house' facilities
faculty and students regularly utilize the
The
Imaging
Center of Texas Tech University, a laboratory that houses TEM, SEM, EBSD and related
instruments for image analysis and microscopy.
Faculty
also participate in the teaching of the
undergraduate and
graduate courses.
