The Bryant Lab

The Bryant Lab is delighted to welcome Emily Apel to the group – she will be conducting her PhD research developing paleoproxies for seawater pH, and investigating carbon and sulfur cycle response to environmental perturbations using geochemistry and modeling.

The Bryant Lab is delighted to welcome its first official member, Isabelle Rein. Isabelle comes to us fresh off a masters at Washington State University, where she focused on halogen geochemistry as a tracer of fluid flow in metamorphic rocks. At Purdue, she will be combining field work, geochemistry and modeling to investigate biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem dynamics during the early Triassic and late Ediacaran.

7/19/23 – Roger attended the Life & Planet conference at the Geological Society of London. The conference was dedicated to the memory of James Lovelock, the legendary scientist of Gaia hypothesis and microwave oven invention fame. Roger presented a talk on sulfur isotopes in 2 billion year old sedimentary rocks from Fennoscandia.

7/15/23 – Roger attended the Goldschmidt conference in Lyon, France. He presented an invited talk on diagenesis and geochemical proxy development in Eocene carbonates from Florida and the Bahamas.
