Searching for evidence of Greenland ice-sheet collapse in the past
Abstract:
As atmospheric carbon dioxide rises to levels of the Pliocene with projections reaching to Miocene by the end of the century, it is critical to empirically constrain model estimates for the threshold of irreversible Greenland ice sheet deglaciation. Here, I will utilize marine sediment records adjacent to southern Greenland that track the presence/absence of the Greenland ice sheet on the different Precambrian terranes of the island through the use of grain-size-specific magnetic properties and radiogenic isotopes. The records document a low threshold for Greenland ice-sheet deglaciation with at least one instance of complete deglaciation in the last half million years. I will also use the same approach to late Pliocene sediments that show a highly dynamic Greenland ice sheet with an instance of deglaciation for up to 80,000 years under an atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration similar to today.

Probing the Moon and Mars with gravity and magnetic fields
Gravity and magnetic fields contain information about planets from the deep interior to the outer edges of the atmosphere. By analyzing and modeling these fields, and combining the results with geologic information, we can gain insight into the history and evolution of a planet. I will discuss Mars, and how I constrained the timing of its dynamo, and how I showed that Mars underwent true polar wander and magnetic reversals. I will discuss the Moon, and how my impact crater and gravity modeling showed that porosity in the crust is important, and how I constrained the diameter at which mantle uplift occurs.

MG&G Field Course Presentation DayMay, 30 2025Time: 10:00 AM - 12:00 PMLocation: ROC 1.603 Each Maymester, the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) offers a field course designed to provide hands-on instruction for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in the collection and processing of marine geological and geophysical data. The course covers high-resolution air gun and streamer seismic reflection, CHIRP seismic reflection, multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar, sediment coring, grab sampling and the sedimentology of resulting seabed samples (e.g., core description, grain size analysis, x-radiography, etc.). Scientific and technical experts in each of the techniques first provide students with several days of classroom instruction. The class then travels to the Gulf Coast for a week of at-sea field work and on-shore lab work. Two small research vessels are used concurrently: one for multibeam bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and sediment sampling, and the other for high-resolution seismic reflection and CHIRP sub-bottom profiling. Students rotate daily between the two vessels and lab work. Upon returning to Austin, students work in teams to integrate data and techniques into a final project that examines the geologic history and/or sedimentary processes as typified by a small area of the Gulf Coast continental shelf. Students spend one week learning interpretation methods using industry-standard, state-of-the-art software (Focus, Landmark, Caris, Fledermaus). On the last day, students present their final project to the class and industry sponsor representatives. |
