| President 01/2016 - 12/2017 |
Laurie Reisberg CRPG, France |
Laurie Reisberg obtained her BSc at the University of Michigan in 1979 and her PhD from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in 1988. After post-docs at the Institut du Physique du Globe in Paris and at Lamont-Doherty, she joined the Centre de Recherches Pétrographiques et Géochimiques, a research laboratory of the French national science agency (CNRS) and the Université de Lorraine, in Nancy, France. Her specialities are radiogenic isotopes and highly siderophile element geochemistry. In the early part of her career, her work was centered on mantle geochemistry, including studies of the formation and evolution of the non-cratonic lithosphere and of basaltic magmatism. She has also worked on erosion and how it is recorded in the marine radiogenic isotopic record, nucelosynthethic anomalies in meteorites, and the radiometric dating and source tracing of ore deposits and, most recently, of oils. |
| Vice President 01/2016 - 12/2017 |
Roberta Rudnick University of California, Santa Barbara, USA |
Roberta Rudnick is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara (as of Jan. 1, 2016). Her research focuses on the origin and evolution of the continents, particularly the lower continental crust and the underlying mantle lithosphere. Emphasis is placed on integration of data from a wide diversity of sources, including petrography, petrology, major and trace element geochemistry, stable and radiogenic isotope geochemistry, and geophysics in order to determine the bulk composition of the crust, the processes that have influenced its composition through time, and why the Earth has continents. |
| Past President 01/2016 - 12/2017 |
Barbara Sherwood Lollar University of Toronto, Canada |
Barbara Sherwood Lollar (F.R.S.C.) obtained her Bachelor's at Harvard University (1985) and PhD at the University of Waterloo (1990). After completing a Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Cambridge, United Kingdom she joined the University of Toronto in 1992. She is a University Professor in Geology, Director of the Stable Isotope Laboratory and Canada Research Chair in Isotopes of the Earth and Environment. Her specialty is stable isotope geochemistry - integrating carbon, hydrogen and noble gases to investigate microbial cycling of hydrocarbon contaminants in near surface aquifer; to delineate the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen in the crust; and to investigate the role of subsurface microbiology in carbon cycling in the deep Earth with implications for astrobiology. |
| Treasurer 01/2011 - 12/2016 |
Sam Savin New College of Florida, USA |
Sam Savin has applied stable isotope techniques to a wide range of problems related to the sedimentation, diagenesis and low-grade metamorphism of siliclastic sediments, and to weathering and soil formation. He has also worked on the reconstruction of paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic conditions of the past 100 million years, based on carbon and oxygen isotopic distributions in planktic and benthic foraminifera. For a number of years, in collaboration with physician colleagues, he used stable carbon isotopic tracers to study metabolic processes in human infants and mothers. In recent years he has also been active as an academic administrator, serving as Dean of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University and Provost at New College of Florida. Sam is now retired and consults on geochemical, environmental and administrative matters. He is a Geochemical Fellow. (appointed to second term) |
| Secretary 01/2014 - 12/2016 |
Anton Eisenhauer GEOMAR, Germany |
Anton (Toni) Eisenhauer is a professor of marine environmental geology and geochemistry at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel in Kiel, Germany. He received a Diploma (1986) in physics and mathematics at the Ruprecht Karls University of Heidelberg, Germany and in 1989 also a doctoral degree (rer. nat.) in environmental physics. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Caltech from 1990 to 1992 in the group of Jerry Wasserburg, he started his own research group as an assistant professor at the Institute of Geochemistry at Göttingen University in Göttingen, Germany. In 1998 he was appointed as a full professor at the GEOMAR research center for marine geology which later became the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. In recent years, Toni's research focused in general on the use of non-traditional, and in particular on the use of alkaline-earth, isotope systems (Ca, Mg, Sr) to solve marine geochemical problems related to organic and inorganic marine calcification as well as on the reconstruction of the chemical history of seawater including sealevel change. |
| OGD Chair 01/2016 - 12/2017 |
Elisabeth L. Sikes Rutgers University, USA |
Elisabeth (Liz) Sikes is currently on the faculty of Rutgers University in the department of Marine and Coastal Sciences. She received her undergraduate degree from Wesleyan University and has a Masters in Marine Sciences from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and a PhD in Oceanography from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/ Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The unifying theme in Liz's research is carbon cycling in marine and coastal systems. Current research interests include determining the Southern Ocean's influence on carbon cycling during climate driven circulation changes; investigating sources, transformation, pathways, and sinks of terrestrial and marine carbon in modern coastal environments; and improving paleo-sea surface temperature estimates using biomarkers. |
| OGD Secretary 01/2016 - 12/2017 |
Hilairy Hartnett Arizona State University, USA |
Hilairy Hartnett is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University. She is a graduate of Vassar College, received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Oceanography at the University of Washington, and was a postdoctoral scholar at the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University. Her research interests include carbon and nitrogen cycling in marine, terrestrial and hydrothermal ecosystems; urban biogeochemistry; and the application of optical and mass spectrometry techniques for characterizing dissolved organic matter. |
| Goldschmidt Officer | Paul Renne Berkeley Geochronology Center, USA |
Paul Renne is Director of the Berkeley Geochronology Center (BGC) and Professor in Residence at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his AB (1982) and PhD (1987) degrees at the University of California, Berkeley, and was a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton (1987-1989) before joining the Institute of Human Origins. Renne was the founding Director of the BGC in 1994 and joined the U.C. Berkeley faculty in 1995. His research emphasizes the refinement and application of Ar/Ar geochronology to large igneous provinces, mass extinctions, and human evolution. He received the Bowen Award of the American Geophysical Union (2005) and is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. |
| Goldschmidt Officer | Harue Masuda Osaka City University, Japan |
Harue Masuda obtained her Bc, Mc, and PhD from Osaka City University. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship at Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo, she returned to Osaka and now is a professor in the Department of Biology and Geosciences, Osaka City University. Her field of study is mainly in water-rock interaction at low temperature and hydrothermal conditions, with a focus in early stage diagenetic reaction including formation and/or dissolution of minerals in shallow continental and oceanic crusts. She has been working in Asian countries on anthropogenic and natural pollutions of the hydrosphere, especially groundwater. She has also worked on sub-seafloor inorganic and organic hydrothermal reactions. She is currently the local organizing committee chair for the 2016 Goldschmidt Conference in Yokohama. |
