Sally Potter-McIntyre is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Her academic journey includes an A.S. from Colorado Mountain College (2004), B.S. from Mesa State College (2006), M.S. (2009) and Ph.D. (2012) from the University of Utah.
Research Interests: Specializing in clastic sedimentology and diagenesis, she integrates traditional methods (field studies, petrography) with advanced techniques like QEMSCAN and detrital zircon geochronology. Her work spans:
- Paleogeography and basin evolution
- Astrobiology and Mars sedimentology using terrestrial analogs
- CO2 sequestration in geological reservoirs
Recent Research Trends: Publications highlight interdisciplinary applications of sedimentology to planetary science, including Martian analog studies in Margaritifer Terra, iron geochemistry in CO2 reservoirs, and biosignature preservation in cold spring systems. Her work emphasizes diagenetic processes and habitability conditions in extreme environments.
Laboratory: Based in Parkinson Lab 215C, focusing on sedimentary systems and diagenetic modeling.
