Evolutionary System of Mineralogy
Mineral Network Analysis
Mineral networks and the data underlying them have the potential to reveal insights about mineral diversity and distribution.
Mineral Ecology
Most mineral species are rare, so minerals follow the same kind of frequency distributions as words in a book or biomass in an ecosystem.
Mineral Evolution
A new way of framing the mineral sciences, based on the increase in mineral diversity of any terrestrial planet or moon over time.
Mineral Surfaces
We employ microarray technology to study the interactions of organic molecules on a variety of mineral surfaces.
Paleontology
Micrroanalytical paleontology employs techniques of mineralogy and petrology to image ancient life forms.
Complexity
In an effort to quantify the behavior of complex emergent systems we are studying the functions of randomly generated Avida organisms.
Origins of Life
Suites of amphiphilic molecules synthesized from pyruvic acid at high pressure and temperature self-organize into vesicles.
