Join us! We investigate the rheological and frictional behavior of Earth and planetary materials, from ice to rocks.
We utilize cutting-edge experimental techniques, including high-pressure gas experiments, cryogenic nanoindentation, and crystallographic preferred orientation analysis using cryo-SEM and electronic backscatter (EBSD).
If you are passionate about applying the principles of material science to unravel the mysteries of large-scale geophysical processes, we invite you to reach out to Prof. David Goldsby (email: dgoldsby@sas.upenn.edu; phone: 215-746-0090) for more information. Graduate school applications to Penn can be submitted online at https://www.sas.upenn.edu/earth/doctoral-programs/how-apply.
