معرفی
Amy Weislogel is an Associate Professor of Geology at West Virginia University (WVU), leading the Sedimentary Basin Studies group. She specializes in sedimentary basin analysis, focusing on tectonic and climatic influences on paleoenvironments. Her research integrates provenance, stratigraphic, and sedimentologic techniques to address energy systems (e.g., carbon sequestration) and climate change. She also develops geoscience education initiatives in Appalachia, funded by NSF grants like the Appalachian Geoscience Learning Ecosystem (AGLE).
- Education: Ph.D. in Geology from Stanford University (2006)
- Teaching: Courses include GEOL 103 (Earth Through Time), GEOL 203 (Physical Oceanography), and advanced sedimentation methods.
- Grants:
- NSF-funded project on Critical Zone Dynamics (2022–2025)
- NSF-supported education initiative AGLE (2023–2026)
Research Interests: Sedimentary basin dynamics, paleoclimate modeling, energy resource evaluation, and geoscience education. Her work bridges subsurface and outcrop analyses to inform environmental and energy challenges.
Students: Advised over 15 graduate students, including Segun Abatan (2020) and Luke Fritz (2019). Undergraduate mentorship includes Emma Steorts (B.S. '19) and others.
Lab: Director of the Sedimentary Basin Lab, advancing multi-method geochemical and geochronological analyses.
