Dr. Shanan Peters, September 27, 2009
Dr. Peters's current research emphasis involves quantifying the rock record in order to better understand which lines of earth history have been preserved, why they have been preserved, and to what effect. He uses macrostratigraphy to test hypotheses that span a range of earth systems, including the evolution of marine and terrestrial life, the carbon cycle and global climate, and cycling rates of geologic materials via tectonic uplift and subsidence.
Dr. Jack Williams, August 30, 2009
Dr. Williams's research interests center on ecological responses to climate change and the two-way interactions between the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere. Most of his work has focused upon late-Quaternary vegetational and environmental change.  Dr. John Hawks, July 26, 2009 Dr. Hawks was our speaker at the very first Science Pub, an engaging and enthusiastic speaker who spoke on a wide breadth of topics. Hawks studies the genes and bones of ancience humans and was trained as a paleoanthropologist.
