Nicholas Swanson-Hysell
Associate Professor, Principal Investigator
Nick’s research integrates original field observations with laboratory data sets in order to further understanding of global change through time. In conjunction with his research group, he is particularly focused on developing data from sequences of volcanic and sedimentary rocks where information can be extracted about ancient continental motions, the evolution of the magnetic field, and changes in climate.
