Her research has focused on the cycling and mineralization of metals, using a range of microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Colleen’s current research program is focused on coupled elemental cycles and cryptic processes that control the biogeochemistry and health of various marine ecosystems, ranging from coral reefs to the deep biosphere. One particular emphasis is the cycling and sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the impact of their formation on other elemental cycles and organismal health. To enable this research, Colleen has established an integrated science and engineering program to design and develop new in situ submersible sensing technologies to enable measurement of short-lived intermediates like ROS over various spatial scales.</span></div></div><div><br /></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;"><br /></span></div><div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Distinguished Career Award Recipient: <a href="https://ichnoplanet.ca/current-students/gmangano/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span>G</span>abriela Mángano</span></a> (University of Saskatchewan)</span></span></h2></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_9eXY_djDJgX8eAd6AdB30jWabe0W8XYn-RBN1it68JKjZjAYLqQ7U1p20W_gX2xmEBFtY-EmtkR5rkLpRus5x4fVzF50n0iCU4j8aMt_0HeY6jQi5bfZ0_ws1lckdSZDTCpy8ttqRiU-X6RJtPhKjoNi1Aqv27ZnFWvYZRkJBlqZ7JXX4_lmlRkBn-N/s2400/M.%20Gabriela%20Ma%CC%81ngano.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2400" data-original-width="2400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg_9eXY_djDJgX8eAd6AdB30jWabe0W8XYn-RBN1it68JKjZjAYLqQ7U1p20W_gX2xmEBFtY-EmtkR5rkLpRus5x4fVzF50n0iCU4j8aMt_0HeY6jQi5bfZ0_ws1lckdSZDTCpy8ttqRiU-X6RJtPhKjoNi1Aqv27ZnFWvYZRkJBlqZ7JXX4_lmlRkBn-N/s320/M.%20Gabriela%20Ma%CC%81ngano.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">M.

He has worked to improve microanalysis techniques of stable isotope ratios by laser and ion beam, and founded the WiscSIMS Lab at UW-Madison. His current projects investigate zircons and their inclusions to understand evolution of the crust and growth of continents. He has collaborated in geobiology research employing in situ analysis of O and C isotopes to evaluate vital effects vs. diagenesis, examine seasonality and paleoclimatology, determine migration history and paleodiet, and test biogenicity. This has included samples ranging from modern foraminifera, mollusks, otoliths, and teeth to Earth’s oldest microfossils.

The Paleobotany Collection contains significant holdings of Late Carboniferous fossil plants preserved as compression-adpressions, permineralized peats, and within sideritic concretions. Cretaceous through Paleogene floras are well-represented, including angiosperm mesofossil assemblages from the Upper Cretaceous Raritan and Magothy Formations. Substantial fossil palynological collections and comparative extant pollen and spore preparations are also housed within the Collection.<br /><br />We are seeking a collegial individual with strong communication skills who conducts innovative, integrative research that will complement and broaden the section’s strengths. The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an externally funded field and/or laboratory research program, to contribute to building and using the Invertebrate Paleontology or Paleobotany collections, and to participate in Museum exhibition, public outreach and education, and programmatic efforts. We particularly value a commitment to equity and inclusion in the context of museum-based research, curation, education, and outreach. Close relationships with local universities provide opportunities for participation in graduate and undergraduate training. A Ph.D. in a relevant discipline must be held by the start of employment.<br /><br />To apply and for inquiries, please email: <a href="mailto:paleontology-search2021@fieldmuseum.org">paleontology-search2021@fieldmuseum.org</a>. <div>Applications should include: </div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>a Curriculum Vitae</li><li>a statement of research interests and career objectives</li><li>a statement describing experience in and/or vision for increasing diversity and inclusion in a museum setting</li><li>names and contact information for three people from whom letters of recommendation may be sought</li><li>copies of up to five relevant publications in PDF format. </li></ol></div></blockquote><div><b>Review of applications will begin on March 15, 2021.<br /></b><br />The Field Museum is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in science, and strives to create a working environment that is free of sexual, racial, and ethnic discrimination, and that promotes human dignity among all staff.

These conversations are inspired by recent reminders (e.g., the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery) that the injustices in society are reflected and perpetuated in Geoscience. Morris et al., (2020) appropriately describe the effects of racism on the careers of black, brown, and indigenous Geoscientists by stating that “in place of mass incarceration, there is mass exclusion [and] in place of police brutality, [geoscience] careers are killed through forced attrition and under-investment.” Like the rest of the world and academia, the Geosciences need to unlearn racism.</div><div><br /></div><div> We designed a community-wide journal-reading and policy-design curriculum to help Geoscientists unlearn racism and improve accessibility, justice, equity, and inclusion (AJEDI) in our discipline.

Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) at the University of Colorado Boulder is seeking for
prospective students interested in pursuing a PhD in Geosciences in the fields of (1)
paleoceanography and (2) ocean biogeochemistry. </p><p><b>1. Evaluating Climate Change and Kill Mechanisms Associated with the End-Cretaceous Mass
Extinction: A Model-Data Comparison Approach. </b> This PhD project aims to tests hypotheses
about the relationship between dramatic climate change, marine ecology, and carbon cycling across
the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event. Research includes laboratory and analytical
activities examining lipid biomarkers and their stable isotope composition using samples from
ocean and continental drilling, which will be incorporated into climate and biogeochemical models.
<a href="https://spark.adobe.com/video/UoIFOafxAH6hL" target="_blank">https://spark.adobe.com/video/UoIFOafxAH6hL </a></p><p><b>2. Microbial Lipidomics in Changing Oceans. </b>This PhD project aims to tests hypotheses about
lipid remodeling in marine microbes as a physiological adaptation to multiple environmental
stressors using observational (cruises) and experimental (microcosm and mesocosm experiments)
approaches. Research includes laboratory and analytical activities examining intact polar lipids
(IPLs) and their degradation products (core lipids), which will be incorporated into larger dataset
of metagenomics, metatranscriptomic, and geochemistry. </p><p>Applications from students with a robust foundation in Earth sciences, or related disciplines, and
from diverse backgrounds and traditionally marginalized groups in STEM fields, are particularly
encouraged to apply. Familiarity with organic and/or stable isotope geochemistry, paleoenvironmental sciences, oceanography, and data analysis is desired, but not essential. Interested
candidates should contact Dr. Julio Sepúlveda (<a href="mailto:jsepulveda@colorado.edu">jsepulveda@colorado.edu</a>), including a brief
interest statement and a CV/resume as a single PDF file. </p><p>The Organic Geochemistry Group is a diverse group of researchers from different backgrounds and
nationalities that welcomes and embraces diversity. We are part of the Organic Geochemistry Lab, a
state of-the-art analytical facility equipped with instrumentation in gas and liquid chromatography,
low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry, and stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry, with an
active network of collaborators. As the flagship university of the state of Colorado, CU Boulder is a
dynamic community of scholars and learners with a proud tradition of academic excellence situated
on one of the most spectacular college campuses in the country. Collectively, CU Boulder
researchers produce more papers in the geosciences—and generate more citations to those
papers—than those at any other university in the world. </p><p>For more information about the Department of Geological Sciences Graduate Program*, INSTAAR,
