Abstract:

Geochemists study the composition, structure, processes, evolution, and other aspects of the Earth and other planets. In this seminar, Xiao-Ming will take you to a geochemical adventure focusing on what her group has researched on study chemical weathering using non-traditional stable isotopes over the past five years at UNC. 

Bio：

Xiao-Ming Liu is an Assistant Professor and Colin McMillan Fellow of Geological Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She holds a Ph.D. and MSc from the University of Maryland, a BS from the University of Waterloo and China University of Geosciences (Beijing), and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Carnegie Institution. The main research interests of Liu’s group lie in understanding fundamental questions related to the origin and evolution of Earth using geochemical tools, including but not limited to 1). Chemical weathering and its influence on climate; 2). Evolution of Earth’s surface environments; 3). Fluid-rock interactions and its implications in environmental geochemistry. Liu has won the 2021 Early Career Award by the Geological Society of America (GSA), Mineralogy, Geochemistry, Volcanology & Petrology Division. Liu is a 2019 recipient of the NSF CAREER Award.
