Dr. John Jaeger is a marine geologist that studies the geologic and climatic processes that generate, transport, and deposit terrestrial sediments to the coastal ocean and how these processes are “recorded” in modern to Pleistocene (~3 million years)-age marine sedimentary strata. Results from these two foci are critical to understanding past depositional environments, sea level variations, erosional rates, sediment sources, and ocean chemistry. His studies are targeted at polar studies in Alaska, Antarctica, and Greenland.
