Di-a-gen'-e-sis:
All of the changes undergone by sediment after its initial deposition, exclusive of weathering and metamorphism.

      Greetings!  Step into these web pages and find out about our research group!  Although we refer to ourselves as the Diagenesis Research Group, our research is actually broader, involving aqueous geochemistry, biogeochemistry, organic geochemistry, geomicrobiology, diagenesis, sedimentary petrology, and sedimentary basin studies. We are also involved in geoscience education and professional development activities with teachers, museums and National Parks! Check out what's happening with the world's largest geoscience exhibit at Grand Canyon National Park: the Trail of Time!

Prospective graduate students, click here. Geoscience students interested in a collaborative interdisciplinary Ph.D program in hydrogeoecology AND education/outreach should check out GK-12 (jointly run by myself in E&PS and Professor Scott Collins in Biology)).

To get a better idea about our research program, check out these pages, where we tell you about our past and previous work. The research group consists of a number of people from a variety of backgrounds-- take a look at who we are . Then, to get a feel for what we have to offer education- and research-wise, follow the links to see information about our research facilities, and courses.  The Diagenesis Research Group has strong ties to people in the Biology Department, so check out the Hydrogeoecology  web pages.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me-Laura Crossey!
