معرفی
Noah Planavsky is an Associate Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences at Yale University. His research focuses on isotope geochemistry, environmental change, and the co-evolution of life, climate, and Earth's geochemical cycles. He leads the Planavsky Lab, which investigates silicate weathering processes, ocean oxygenation, and carbon capture via enhanced mineral weathering.
Education:
- B.A., Lawrence University
- Ph.D., University of California, Riverside
- Postdoctoral Work, California Institute of Technology
Research Interests:
- Isotope systems (e.g., Li, Cr, U) for tracking environmental and climatic changes
- Atmospheric evolution (oxygen and CO₂ levels)
- Enhanced weathering as a climate mitigation strategy
- Paleoredox reconstructions and ocean oxygen dynamics
Recent Work Trends: Publications emphasize carbon dioxide removal via enhanced rock weathering, isotopic proxies for ancient redox conditions, and interdisciplinary approaches to climate solutions. Recent studies include field trials in agricultural systems and geochemical modeling of weathering processes.
Lab Group & Advising: Supervises a team of postdocs and PhD students (e.g., Brian Beaty, Tom Reershemius) focused on weathering dynamics, carbon sequestration, and biogeochemical cycles. Collaborates on USDA-funded projects and international field experiments.
Labs/Teams: Leads the Yale Carbonation and Negative Emissions (YCNCC) initiative and collaborates with global networks on enhanced weathering deployment and verification methods.
