معرفی
Andrew C. Kurtz is an Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies at Boston University. His research focuses on trace element and isotope geochemistry applied to Earth surface processes, Earth history, and biogeochemical cycles, with a particular emphasis on silicate weathering and terrestrial-marine process linkages. He teaches courses including Paleoclimatology & Paleoceanography, Geochemistry, and Oceanography of Stellwagen Bank. His work explores nutrient dynamics, riverine load composition, and global elemental cycles (C, Si, P).
- Education:
- PhD in Geochemistry, Cornell University, 2000
- MS in Geochemistry, Cornell University, 1996
- BS in Geology, Ohio University, 1993
Research interests integrate field observations, isotopic analysis, and modeling to understand how Earth surface processes regulate biogeochemical cycles and climate. His studies highlight the critical role of silicate weathering in nutrient liberation, riverine transport dynamics, and long-term carbon cycle feedbacks.
No specific awards or grants are listed in the provided text. Teaching responsibilities include undergraduate and graduate courses in Earth sciences, emphasizing hands-on oceanographic fieldwork and geochemical methodologies.
