Neighborhood Lecture

Lara Wagner describes her research, including the development of a more easily deployable seismometer package that will greatly facilitate deployment in dangerous areas, to a full-house of our neighbors.


Fellowship Openings

Applications are invited for postdoctoral fellowship positions to conduct independent research in the fields of astronomy, cosmochemistry, geochemistry, geophysics, planetary science, or volcanology at DTM.


Circumstellar Disks

A group of citizen scientists and professional astronomers, including Jonathan Gagné, joined forces to discover an unusual hunting ground for exoplanets.

 

Postdoc Spotlight


Myriam Telus

Myriam Telus loved school as a kid. When adults would ask her what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would joke and say she wanted to stay in school forever. Turns out, she could.

Campus Arrivals

Cian Wilson, who received his Ph.D. in computational physics from the Imperial College in London in 2009, joins the geophysics group at DTM as a computational scientist. While at DTM, Wilson will be managing the department’s scientific computing lab, which will provide computational support through high performance computing and visualization with a focus on fluid dynamics. With Peter van Keken and Peter Driscoll, he will primarily support the computational research efforts in core, mantle, and lithosphere dynamics.
