- Dr. David Foster uses temperature-sensitive isotopic dating methods (thermochronometers) and radiogenic isotopes to constrain metamorphic, igneous, and deformation processes. (email: dafoster@ufl.edu)
- Dr. John Jaeger‘s research in low-temperature early diagenesis of sediments is centred on understanding how biological, physical, and chemical processes influence the fate of organic matter introduced into coastal marine sediments. Time-series studies of estuarine sediments using sedimentologic (physical properties, x-radiography), geochronologic (short-lived radioisotopes), and carbon and nitrogen geochemistry are used to quantify the relative contribution of these processes in controlling preservation.

- Dr. Stephen M. Elardo ‘s research focuses on Planetary Geochemistry, Igneous Petrology, Experimental Petrology, Lunar Science, and Non-Traditional Stable Isotopes(email:selardo@ufl.edu )
- Dr. Ellen Martin‘s research in low-temperature geochemistry focuses on the evaluation of new minerals phases as archives for Sr and Nd isotopes in marine sediments. In particular, this has included studies of marine barite, phosphatic fish teeth, and Fe-Mn oxide coatings. (email: eemartin@ufl.edu)
- Dr. Andy Zimmerman is an organic geochemist who studies organic matter-mineral-microbe relationships and human influences on organic matter preservation. (email: azimmer@ufl.edu)
