معرفی
Randall (Randy) Keller is an Instructor at Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS). His research focuses on marine geology, igneous geochemistry, and the chemical geodynamics of mantle plumes and subduction zones. He holds a BS in Geology from the University of Florida (1985), followed by an MS (1989) and PhD (1996) in Marine Geology from Oregon State University.
His teaching includes courses such as GEO 101: The Solid Earth, GEO 103: Introduction to Oceanography (online), and GEO 305: Living with Active Cascades Volcanoes. His research spans over three decades, with publications from 1996 to 2024, emphasizing Antarctic Peninsula geology, seamount volcanology, and diamond genesis. Recent work examines volcanic interactions in back-arc basins and mantle processes beneath subduction zones.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed, though his extensive publication record reflects significant contributions to marine geology and geochemistry. He has advised no formally listed students, but his courses suggest involvement in graduate instruction. His affiliation with CEOAS likely connects him to analytical facilities and research vessels like the R/V Elakha, though specifics are not detailed here.
