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 and 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

Vet School 229
(215) 898-8784 or 898-5562

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

(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.

Jane Willenbring, Assistant Professor

erosion@sas.upenn.edu
266B Hayden Hall
(215) 746-8197

I am interested in the response of the landscape to external forcing by the rise of mountains, sea level, ice sheets and civilizations. My research is focused primarily on constraining rates of erosion, timing of ice sheet fluctuations and long-term climate change using geochemical techniques, field-based data and numerical models.
