Paleomagnetism & Paleogeography Research at UF

Research at UF is aimed at establishing the past positions of continental blocks from around the globe. We use a combination of paleomagnetism (where) and geochronology (when) to aid in this endeavor. Current projects are focused primarily on Precambrian supercontinents including Rodinia and Columbia. Our research focus over the past 20 years is global with a concentration of work in India. Please contact Dr. Meert jmeert@ufl.edu if you are interested in graduate work.
