Field-Of-Study: Earth Science
Jun Korenaga
Jun Korenaga is Professor of Geology and Geophysics at Yale University. He studies the evolution of the Earth using an array of theoretical and observational methods. Korenaga is known particularly for his hypothesis of slower plate tectonics on the young Earth, which challenges a prevailing belief in earth sciences. He proposed the hypothesis in 2003

Katherine H. Freeman
Professor of Geosciences and faculty member at Penn State since 1991, Katherine H. Freeman is a leading scholar of organic compounds preserved in ancient soils, sediments, and oils. She developed methods for precise measurement of stable carbon isotopes in individual compounds and she was the first to apply such analytical tools to understand biological and
Guillermo L. Albanesi
Guillermo Luis Albanesi is among the world’s leading experts on Ordovician conodonts. He received his undergraduate degree in geology (1991) and Ph.D. in earth sciences (1997), with highest distinction, from the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. As a doctoral student, he had worked not only at NUC, but in the laboratory of Christopher Barnes at
R. Lawrence Edwards
Larry Edwards is a geologist with interests in climate history, climate change, and geochronology. He is the George and Orpha Gibson Chair of Earth Systems Science and Distinguished McKnight University Professor at the University of Minnesota. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Richard Edwards, is from a distinguished American family descended from the Reverend
