Phillip Ihinger

Field: Geology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1995

Research Interests

My research explores the fundamental properties of silicate liquids and considers their relationship to the evolution of magmas with the earth. Additionally, I am pursuing the relationship of hot spot volcanism to plate tectonics, mantle convection, and the chemical structure of the mantle.

Lisa C. Sloan

Field: Geology
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

Lisa Sloan studies the causes of warm climates in the Eocene and Paleocene eras. Sloan's work combines studies of past climates based on geologic evidence with computer modeling of Earth's climatic systems. Research on past climates can shed light on current and future climatic and environmental change, she says. Much of her work has focused on unusually warm intervals in Earth's history, such as the period 55 million years ago when crocodiles lived within the Arctic Circle and palm trees grew in what is now Wyoming.
