Description:

about Who we are. We are Earth and planetary scientists. Our faculty, researchers, graduate students and undergraduate students pursue field, lab, experimental, and modeling studies of geological and environmental problems around the world and across the solar system. Richard Cowen | In memoriam: 1940-2020Our colleague and dear friend, Senior Lecturer Emeritus Richard Cowen, passed away on January 8, 2020. A gentleman and a scholar, Richard's teaching excellence inspired thousands of students, as well as UC Davis Earth and Planetary Sciences faculty and staff. Messages of sympathy and memories of Richard may be sent to memories-of-richard@ucdavis.edu. If you wish to have your message included on our Memories of Richard page, please let us know.NASA's FINESST 2020, Planetary Science division | Supratim DeyGeology graduate student Supratim Dey is a recipient of a NASA's FINESST scholarship (Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology). Entitled: Establishing Planetary Genealogy of Iron Meteorites and Pallasites using Nucleosynthetic Isotope Anomalies of Chromium and Titanium, the primary objective of the proposed research is to establish the genealogy of important groups of planetary materials and to determine the provenance of their parent bodies in the early Solar System using nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies in meteorites. Sarah Stewart | Remaking a Planet One Atom at a TimeFrom Eos: "When is a planet not a planet? Where does helium rain? How can water be solid and liquid at the same time? For answers, scientists put common planetary materials under extreme pressure and watched what happened next." Sarah Stewart is one of the featured scientists in the article.Primitive Helium Is Sourced From Seismically Slow Regions in the Lowermost MantleCurtis Williams, Sujoy Mukhopadhyay, Max Rudolph, and Barbara Romanowicz's research, "Primitive Helium Is Sourced From Seismically Slow Regions in the Lowermost Mantle", published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, is among the top 10% most downloaded papers. Among work published between January 2018 and December 2019, their paper received some of the most downloads in the 12 months following online publication.Isabel Montañez and Dawn Sumner | California Academy of Sciences Academy FellowsIsabel Montañez and Dawn Sumner have been elected Academy Fellows. From the California Academy of Sciences: A governing group of approximately 450 distinguished scientists, Academy Fellows have made notable contributions to one or more of the natural sciences and help further the reach of our research and education initiatives through individual and collaborative efforts with Academy researchers. Nominated by their colleagues and selected by the Board of Trustees, Academy Fellows remain members of the Fellowship for life.Sandra Carlson | PhyloCode, an evolution-based system for naming organismsFrom Florida Museum: Scientists have formalized an alternative set of rules 285 years after the publication of the first edition of “Systema Naturae,” the landmark volume marking the beginning of the rank-based system for categorizing and naming life. Known as the PhyloCode, this system defines scientific names based on evolutionary relationships. Sandy Carlson contributed several articles to this monumental task, which took nearly 10 years to complete.2019-2020 ARCS Northern California Scholars | Michael Huh and Tyler SchliederGeology Graduate Students Michael Huh and Tyler Schlieder are 2019-2020 ARCS Northern California Scholars. ARCS Scholars are selected annually by qualifying departments of science, engineering and medical research within ARCS Foundation's 51 academic partner universities and colleges.more news meet Kari Cooper I study mostly volcanic rocks. In order to understand how and why volcanoes erupt, we need to look both below the surface and back in time - my research focuses on reconstructing the processes that lead to volcanic eruptions. i am a geochemist. meet Sandy Carlson I study how organisms evolve and change over time in their shapes and sizes, and in their ecology and behavior. i am a paleontologist.
