Standing Faculty:

 

Frederick Scatena, Professor

Department Chair

fns@sas.upenn.edu

156 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-6907

Studies the impacts of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on surficial Earth processes, with a special interest on the alterations of the hydrologic and biogeochemical cycles in humid tropical forests.

Robert Giegengack, Professor Emeritus

 

gieg@sas.upenn.edu

353 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-5191

Addresses the history of climatic change in many environments and is currently focussed on the history of cyclic dessication of the Sahara during the past several million years.

 

Hermann Pfefferkorn, Professor

Paleobiology Advisor

hpfeffer@sas.upenn.edu

264 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-5156

Studies the evolution of plants and uses the ecological information reconstructed from fossil-plant comunities to document changes in terrestrial ecosystems that accompanied the late Paleozoic change fromk glacial to non-glacial times.

Arthur Johnson, Professor

ahj@sas.upenn.edu

160 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-7446

A soil geochemist and forest biogeochemist who studies the biogeochemistry of both modern and ancient forests.

Stephen Phipps, Associate Professor

sphipps@sas.upenn.edu

164 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-4602

Studies Structural Geology with particular reference to the evolution of mountain belts and the Pacific coast range of North America.

Benjamin Horton, Assistant Professor

bphorton@sas.upenn.edu

158 Hayden Hall
(215) 573-5388

Develops quantitative paleoenvironmental reconstructions and environmental models to understand sea level change, estuarine, and coastal processes.

Peter Dodson, Professor of Anatomy and Geology

dodsonp@vet.upenn.edu

229 Vet School
(215) 898-8784

Studies morphometrics, systematics, and evolution of North American horned dinosaurs to understand the biology of dinosaur communties and their diversity trends through time.

Alain Plante, Assistant Professor

aplante@sas.upenn.edu

162 Hayden Hall
215-898-9269

Seeks to characterize the quantity, quality and function of organic matter in surface soils from various ecosystems.

 

Doug Jerolmack, Assistant Professor

sediment@sas.upenn.edu

154A Hayden Hall
215-746-0678

Researches the mechanics of sediment transport, and its implications for pattern formation in modern and ancient sedimentary systems. Dr. Jerolmack's group employs theoretical and numerical modeling, laboratory experiments and field work to address problems at a variety of scales, on Earth and other planets.

 

 

 

 

Gomaa Omar, Graduate Group Chair

gomar@sas.upenn.edu

262 Hayden Hall
(215) 898-6908

Uses fission track geochronology to reconstruct the thermal histories and evolution of geologic terrains.
