Subject: Graduate Research in isotope geochemistry and paleoclimatology


The Department of Geological Sciences, Brown University, is searching for a
graduate student to study paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental change using
the latest development in isotope techniques, namely, compound-specific
hydrogen isotope analysis. We have already made major progress in the method
development in the past year, and are looking for Ph.D. level graduate
student to expand our work. Some of the work will be presented in fall 2001
AGU meeting. In collaboration with Brown researchers, the student will use
the hydrogen-isotopic composition of lacustrine biomarkers to reconstruct
the changes in past temperatures and hydrology of lakes around the world
(with an emphasis on north American lakes). The research involves both
experimental work and field trips. Background in organic chemistry and
isotopic geochemistry is not required. The student will be jointly
supervised by Prof. Yongsong Huang and Prof. Thompson Webb III. Course work
and training will cover the multiple fields of organic geochemistry, isotope
geochemistry, palynology, paleolimnology and paleoclimatology. For more
