Boswell Wing

Boswell Wing is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. His research focuses on geobiology, exploring the co-evolution of Earth's geochemical systems and microbial life over billions of years.

• Education:
  • PhD (2005), MA (1998) in Earth and Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University
  • AB (1996) in Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University

His work integrates microbial culture experiments, stable isotope geochemistry, and Precambrian geology to decode ancient biosignatures in the rock record. By bridging molecular biology and geochronology, he investigates how microbial metabolisms may have altered Earth's surface environments through time.

Current projects include fieldwork on Proterozoic-era biogeochemical shifts and laboratory studies of microbial evolutionary adaptation. His research emphasizes hypothesis-driven collaboration across disciplines.
