Morgan Jones

Morgan Jones is an Associate Professor at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Geoscience at Umeå University. His expertise centers on paleoclimate change during periods of elevated volcanism, global element cycles, and inorganic geochemistry.

• Focuses on Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and their climatic/environmental impacts
• Examines LIP-related carbon fluxes, silicate weathering feedbacks, and nutrient cycling
• Connects deep-time geological processes to modern climate change understanding
• Active in Arctic tectonics and volcanism research education

Recent publications analyze:

• U-Pb geochronology of North Atlantic LIP events
• Carbon cycle dynamics during Paleozoic climate transitions
• Cretaceous glendonite records as cooling indicators
• Norway's granitic intrusions in volcanic margin evolution

His work integrates multidisciplinary approaches to study volcanic-climate linkages across geological timescales.
