Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Swanson-Hysell is an Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences with 13 years of academic experience studying Earth’s long-term evolution through integrated geophysical and geochemical approaches. He specializes in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism applied to stratigraphic sequences to reconstruct paleogeography, investigate past climate shifts, and probe the history of Earth’s magnetic field. Trained at Carleton College (BA) and Princeton (PhD), he has held faculty positions at UC Berkeley and now leads research at the University of Minnesota, where his group shares data and code via the Swanson-Hysell-Group repositories. His work is notable for tightly coupling rigorous geologic context with quantitative data synthesis, yielding constraints on planetary-scale processes that are often overlooked in broader geoscience studies.
