About Me

MaryAnn Love Malinconico
This blog focuses on geologic carbon. While that can cover a realm of species and settings including dissolved carbon in fresh/marine waters, carbon in living animals and plants, mineral carbon as in carbonate, probably the best overarching definition of the carbon discussed here is carbon that may combust, with its precursors and products, so coal, petroleum, sedimentary particulate organic matter, soot, fly ash, perhaps graphite, related analytical techniques, applications to geologic problems, and extraneous thoughts whose links to fossil fuel or particulate organic carbon may seem tenuous. Some postings may be purely informative, others related to topics in the news, plus some policy or conference news.

Since 1990 a Research Associate, Dept. of Geology & Environmental Geosciences, Lafayette College, Easton, PA, USA, MaryAnn applies techniques of coal/petroleum geology to geologic problems, primarily regional/basin thermal history.
MaryAnn has a Master’s (Dartmouth College, 1982) and PhD (Columbia Univ., 2002) in Earth Science; Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellowship, USGS, Reston, VA (2006-08). Member GSA, AAPG, AGU, TSOP, ICCP. http://sites.lafayette.edu/lovem/
