Naomi Joyce Rodgers is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology at Occidental College, appointed in 2024. She specializes in Structural Geology and Tectonics, focusing on outcrop-to-orogen-scale analysis to address tectonic questions. Her research methodology involves structural analysis to reconstruct geological histories, self-identifying as a 'reverse architect' interpreting rock formations' origins and movements.
Education: B.A. from Johns Hopkins University and Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. Her work bridges field-based structural geology with analytical techniques like laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), applied to both terrestrial (Newark Basin) and extraterrestrial (Mars) contexts. No formal awards or grants are listed in the provided text.
Her 2017 article demonstrates expertise in chemostratigraphic analysis, indicating a focus on geochemical methods for stratigraphic correlation and planetary comparisons. Advising activity and lab affiliations are not explicitly mentioned.
