Dr. Ben Johnson
he/him/his Assistant Professor, Iowa State University NSF Postdoc, University of Colorado Boulder: 2017-2019 PhD, University of Victoria: 2012 MS, University of Utah: 2009 BS, University of Puget Sound: 2006 Ben is a geologist and geochemist with broad interests that span Earth History and Earth System Science. He uses a variety of rock archives, including chemical sediments, glacial tills, and igneous rocks as records of the interactions between life, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the solid Earth over deep time. He uses field work, analytical and isotope geochemistry, and numerical modeling to investigate deep time questions about Earth history. He is also interested in astrobiology and planetary science! .

Ben Boesen
he/him/his Undergraduate researcher, Iowa State University Ben is currently in his senior year studying Geology at Iowa State. Despite having a background in aerospace engineering, his work currently deals with a new method of microfluorination to study oxygen isotopes in oceanic crust. Justin Glenn he/him/his Undergraduate researcher, Iowa State University My name is Justin Glenn and I come from Solon, Iowa. I am a third year undergraduate student in Geology at Iowa State. Currently I am helping Dr. Paul Spry and his graduate student on a metamorphosed massive sulfide deposit. In the future I plan on working with Dr. Benjamin Johnson on his current projects while also collaborating with mine. |
