I am a professor in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department. My research interests include the geobiology of extreme environments, compound-specific isotope organic geochemistry, Neoproterozoic chemical evolution of the ocean-atmosphere system during extreme isotope excursions, and carbonate sedimentology, stratigraphy, and geochemistry with an emphasis on microbialite preservation and morphology. As faculty advisor I provide guidance to the club’s leadership and interface with university leadership and landowners.

I am a third year Ph.D. candidate in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department studying Earth's past climate and the mechanisms in which it can be drastically altered. I received my bachelor’s in chemistry from UC Santa Barbara and decided I had enough sunshine so I moved to Chicago. I have been greatly enjoying my time learning geology and being part of an interdisciplinary field. I have participated in Geoclub since my first year in grad school and have loved the community it has given me!

I am a senior undergrad in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department. My research uses electromagnetics and seismology to study the Earth’s subsurface, specifically karst environments, and natural hazards. I am also a member of the NU Seismic Monitoring Team (Twitter: @SeismicTeam) for which I manage social media to provide updates on recent seismic events we record with the EPS department’s on-campus seismometers and happenings within the seismology community. And, in case you were interested, my favorite mineral is Olivine and my favorite rock is Basalt.

Isaac Sageman
I am a current senior undergraduate concentrating in geochemistry, sedimentary geology, and stratigraphy in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department. I am currently working on a senior thesis concerning the examination of carbon and oxygen isotopes within paleogene-age sediments in relation to dwarfism in mammals during that time period. My goals are to eventually go to graduate school (after getting further field and lab experience) and obtain a PHD in order to eventually become a professor. Outside of the Earth department and Geoclub I am the president of the Northwestern men’s club volleyball team and enjoy camping, hiking, and spending time with my friends. Cats’ by a million baby.

Jackson Barnes
I am a second year Ph.D. student in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department examining the morphology of icy planetesimals in the outer solar system, namely in the Kuiper Belt. My research mainly investigates the methods through which planetesimals form via gravitational collapse, and whether they form as single or binary systems. The results of gravitational collapse can provide valuable insight into how prevalent Kuiper Belt objects like Ultima Thule/2014 MU69 are, and the ways in which they can form. I also dream about eating rocks in outer space.
