معرفی
Prof. Jordan Hemingway is an Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, affiliated with the Geological Institute's Surface Earth Evolution group. His research focuses on geologic and biospheric carbon cycles, integrating isotope geochemistry, inverse models, and geospatial analysis to understand CO2 regulation over geologic timescales.
Education: B.S. in Chemistry and Environmental Engineering Science (UC Berkeley, 2011), Ph.D. in Geochemistry (MIT-WHOI, 2017), followed by a postdoc at Harvard University until 2021. Joined ETH Zurich in 2021.
Research pillars include: 1) novel isotope tracer development (e.g., compound-specific isotope measurements), 2) fieldwork in systems like the Congo/Ganges Rivers, Taiwan's mountainous rivers, and acid-mine drainage sites, and 3) reconstructing Cenozoic CO2 variability and ancient climate events (e.g., Snowball Earth, Mesozoic ocean anoxic events). Current projects involve developing the Ramped PyrOx radiocarbon instrument and studying organo-mineral interactions.
- Awards: HFSP Early Career Award
- Labs/Teams: Leads the Surface Earth Evolution group, collaborating on multi-disciplinary projects combining laboratory experiments, fieldwork, and computational modeling.
- Teaching: Offers courses like Geomicrobiology and Biogeochemistry Lab Practical, and Precambrian Geobiology Seminars.
