I use field study in conjunction with paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and collaborative stratigraphic, geochemical, and geochronologic approaches to investigate a wide range of geological puzzles. Specifically, I use the unique information encoded in the magnetic and chemical properties of geological materials to understand tectonic, paleoclimate, and paleoecological processes, and to recognize feedbacks between geodynamics, climate change, and surface processes. Given the scale of these problems, I draw from a diverse quiver of approaches and strong collaborations with other geoscientists. My work involves a substantial and essential component of field study. I also use archived material (e.g., from ocean and lake cores), as well as construct compilations of magnetic, geochemical, and ecological information. Most of my research involves analytical laboratory work, which includes a variety of magnetic experiments as well as SEM and TEM microscopy. My collaborations include stable isotope, trace-element, and organic geochemistry, low-temperature thermochronology, geochronology, structural analysis, marine micropaleontology, and sedimentary basin analysis.See https://faculty.utah.edu/u0975578-Peter_C._Lippert/hm/index.hml for more information.
