Dr. Jordan T. Abell (he/him)

Principal Investigator

Jordan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University, and a member of Lehigh Oceans.

Prior to this, he was a National Science Foundation Ocean Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. Jordan received a Ph.D., M.Phil., and M.A. in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University. He also earned a B.S. in Geology from the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona.

Jordan’s primary research interests include:

  • Past atmospheric and ocean circulation

  • The accumulation rate of marine sediments

  • Dust dynamics

  • Geoarchaeology

Emma Lindemuth (she/her)

M.S. Student

Emma is an Earth and Environmental Sciences Master’s student at Lehigh University. She graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry from University of California, Santa Cruz.

Throughout her time at UCSC, Emma was involved in paleoclimate organic geochemistry research. She is excited to be doing inorganic geochemistry research for paleoceanography at Lehigh.

Emma's research interests include:

  • Paleoclimatology

  • Sediment geochemistry,

  • Warm Earth systems"

Bangran Tang

M.S. Student

Bangran is a Master's student in the Earth and Environmental Sciences department. Bangran earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California, Davis.

My previous research focused on understanding a karst cave system in the southern Sierra Nevada using hydrochemical proxies.

At Lehigh in the GP3 Lab, Bangran will be comparing the constant flux proxy — extraterrestrial 3He  — with other geochemical proxies in ocean floor sediments to reconstruct past sediment mass accumulation rates. Bangran is excited about this project because it spans periods when Earth's climate was warmer or colder than the present, which gives insights into how the Earth's climate system may evolve in the future.
