Recent Publications
Our faculty and students regularly publish important research in the peer-reviewed literature, often with collaborators from around the world. Below are citations for many of the most recent publications from the Department of Geosciences. They are loosely categorized by field, but note that much of our research is interdisciplinary in nature and so many of these papers could be put in several categories!
