Friday, December 3, 2021

ELIZABETH KENDERES

Dr. Kenderes is a Lecturer working in petrology, radiogenic isotopes, and mineral chemistry.

Her research interests include:

Geochemical links to tectonic development of western North America during the Mesozoic; Radiogenic isotope geochemistry of whole rock and mineral separates; Magma mixing and homogenization processes; Mineral crystallization controls on magma petrogenesis; Mineral exploration and petrologic and elemental analysis of gem-bearing pegmatites; Analysis of pegmatite forming fluids by fluid inclusion study.

SHELBY RADER

Dr. Shelby Rader is a trace metal geochemist who originally hails from Irvine, KY. Shelby attended the Gatton Academy and ultimately received her bachelor’s degree in geology and chemistry from Western Kentucky University before obtaining her doctorate in geochemistry from the University of Arizona. Afterwards, Shelby completed a postdoctoral researcher position at the University of Massachusetts Lowell before moving to Indiana University. Through her research, Shelby is able to observe how large-scale geologic processes, both from the past and currently, alter the geochemistry of our environment, which ultimately impacts plant and animal life, our resources, and us. Dr. Rader recently accepted an offer for Assistant Professor in EAS.

ANDREA STEVENS GODDARD

Dr. Stevens Goddard combines fieldwork with analytical techniques such as thermochronology and geochronology to understand the timing and rates of Earth processes over geologic time. As a sedimentologist, she investigates these questions from a sedimentary basin’s perspective, using information preserved in eroded material to interpret the geologic evolution of source areas.
Her recent work has focused on understanding the roles and potential feedbacks between climate and tectonics and lithospheric scale processes on erosion, sediment routing, and landscape evolution. Her research includes work understanding orogenic systems as well as the formation of intracratonic basins and their relationship with plate boundary processes. Dr. Stevens Goddard directs and manages the fission track lab at Indiana University.
