These scholars are poised to become leaders in their fields, said Dean of the Faculty Gene Jarrett, who called the fellows program “an outstanding demonstration of Princeton’s ability to attract the most promising researchers from all sectors of society and all parts of the world.”

Blair Schoene, professor of geosciences and associated faculty in HMEI, will present “Volcanoes, Climate and Mass Extinction in Earth History” for the second talk in the spring 2022 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.
Schoene will discuss efforts to measure the eruption timescales of volcano clusters known as large igneous provinces to test whether massive outpourings of volcanic gasses could have contributed to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction 66 million years ago. This work has substantiated the idea that volcanism combined with a meteorite impact contributed to the event, but there remain large uncertainties that could reveal more about how Earth’s climate responded to catastrophic volcanism, a meteorite impact, and ecosystem collapse.
Register to attend this event via Zoom livestream (open to all) or in person (PUID holders only). In-person attendance is contingent on University guidelines and face coverings are required. Updates will posted as necessary.
