Dear Alumni,
I hope that you find the current edition of the HGR informative and exciting. As a department, we are very proud of our accom-plishments this past year. Some of the highlights include an Atmospheric Sciences program that is growing by leaps and bounds.
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at IU is changing as the fields of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences make new advances and as we expand into new areas like Tectonic Geomorphology, Surface Dynamics, and Atmospheric Sciences.
Climate and Earth processes are two of the most rapidly expanding areas in the geosciences.
River delta channels that carry water, sediment and nutrients may appear to be random and arbitrary in how they are organized.
Indiana University Bloomington geoscience researcher Brian Yanites has been awarded a three-year, $317,663 grant from the National Science Foundation to study how tectonic and climate processes interact to shape the landscape of southern Taiwan.
On November 20, 2017, Chen Zhu was named a Fellow of the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) for distinguished research, teaching, and service contributions to the fields of geochemistry and chemical hydrology, particularly linking theoretical concepts to field observations.
