Diane Clemens-Knott  dclemensknott@fullerton.edu

Petrogenesis of the Early Cretaceous Sierra Nevada batholith: field-based petrographic and geochemical investigations of the isotopically primitive, ultramafic to intermediate plutonic rocks exposed in the western Sierra Nevada foothills.  Applications of environmental isotopes to groundwater studies: use of oxygen, hydrogen and tritium-helium isotopes, in conjunction with general minerals, to investigate recharge sources, subsurface flow paths and flow rates, and extent of water-rock interactions. Department Chair.

Colleagues often ask me what kind of geologist I am. Guess you’d have to say I’m a structural geologist that focuses on the processes and products of the vertical motion of crustal rocks and Earth’s surface at time scales of thousands to millions of years. This research involves both the uplift of rocks, the exhumation of once deeply buried rocks, and basin development. These rocks are generally, but not always, in mountain belt settings such as the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, the mountains of southern California, or the huge mountains of Alaska.

We’re lucky here in southern California because we have what I like to call “Geologic Disneyland” in our backyard – the opportunities for field work in our courses are incredible. My co-workers and I seem bent on wearing out our field vehicles getting to field sites. Department Chair.
