INTRODUCTION

The Department of Geology continues to evolve rapidly with the appointment
of six new assistant-professors- and the filling of the Ralph E. Grim Chair by Richard
L. Hay. One additional appointment in geochemistry/mineralogy will be made during
the 1985 academic year.

These new appointments have completed our new research and teaching program
in geophysics-seismology as well as reinforcing previous strengths in the areas of
groundwater geology, clay mineralogy, geochemistry and the broad study of tectonics,
diagenesis, sedimentology, structural geology, and historical geology.

One of the major advantages of the University of Illinois is the easy access to
facilities in other Departments. The Department, for example, has access to superb
micro-analytical facilities (SEM, high-resolution STEM, SIMS, etc.) in the Center
for the Microanalysis of Materials (a National Facility in the Materials Research
Laboratory) and the Center for Electron Microscopy and the NMR Center in Chemistry.

The Department is fortunate to share the campus with the Illinois State Geological
Survey. Members of the Survey and the Department cooperate in research programs
and graduate teaching in areas such as groundwater and environmental geology, clay
mineralogy, quaternary geology, coal geology, stratigraphy and paleobiology.

With 60 students, the Department maintains strong programs in graduate research
and teaching. The list on the following page outlines some major areas that include
a broad coverage of theoretical, experimental and field research. The list is not
exhaustive and some cross-disciplinary programs are available.

FACULTY PROFILES

The information given below is generalized and conveys only work done in the
last few years. For more specific information about courses or research, please
contact the individual faculty member at the Department address.

STEPHEN P. ALTANER, Assist. Professor D986 Appointment] (B.S., Colgate U.
1979; Ph.D. Univ. of Illinois 1985) - Clays and Diagenesis; Sedimentary Rocks
and Stratigraphy

Stephen Altaner will be setting up a program in clay mineralogic and
petrologic research. Among his broad range of interests in clay mineralogy,
he plans to investigate conditions of clay mineral formation in sedimentary
and diagenetic environments, in soils, and in hydrothermal environments
associated with epithermal ore deposits, modern geothermal fields, and acid
sulfate systems. Specific research topics will include diffusion in argillaceous
rocks, kinetics of diagenetic clay mineral reactions, determination of thermal
and burial histories of sediments, and occurrence of ammonium in epithermal
ore deposits. Results of this type of research will have applications in the fields
of petroleum exploration, mineral prospecting, and nuclear waste disposal. Field
relations, petrography, chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction, stable and radiogenic
isotope analysis, mathematical modeling, and experimental petrology techniques
will be used for this research. Mineralogic research will include examination
of mixed-layer and non mixed-layer clay minerals by transmission electron
microscopy, by near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy, and by nuclear magnetic
resonance (to complement the existing program of R.J. Kirkpatrick).

DAVID E. ANDERSON, Professor and Head (BSc-Hons., Univ. of Sydney,
Australia, 1961; M.S. & PH.D. 1967, Univ. of Sydney, Australia) - Metamorphic
and Theoretical Petrology

Professor Anderson has been department head since 1983. His research
involves metamorphic processes and their relationship to the thermal and tectonic
history of various metamorphic terraines. Current projects include: 1) Studies
(with Stephen Marshak) of the metamorphism of rocks in the Granite Wash
and Buckskin Mountains of Western Arizona and the relationship of metamorphism
to thrust faults in the region. 2) Compositional and textural zoning in garnets
and their relationship to the tectonic history of the Moine Schists of Scotland.
3) Chemical changes associated with shearing and mylonitization of basic igneous
rocks in Scotland and Upper Michigan. 4) Theoretical modelling of diffusion
processes in aqueous and crystalline electrolytes. Funds are currently being
sought jointly by Stephen Marshak and D.E. Anderson for a comprehensive study
of the deformation and metamorphism of the Transantartic Mountains. Professor
Anderson teaches graduate courses in thermodynamics (including non-equilibrium
thermodynamics) and metamorphic petrology.

THOMAS F. ANDERSON, Professor (B.S. 1961, DePauw University, Ph.D. 1967,
Columbia University) - Stable Isotope Geochemistry

Professor Anderson's research involves the application of stable isotope
variations to investigating the origin and diagenesis of sediments. He collaborates
with Dr. John D. Hudson of the University of Leicester on oxygen isotope
variations in Phanerozoic carbonates and their implications for diagenesis,
paleoclimates, and hydrosphere-lithosphere interactions. Much of the data
used is from a continuing joint project with Prof. P. A. Sandberg on textural,
chemical, and isotopic characterization of constituents in Phanerozoic limestones.
Three Ph.D. students are currently involved in this joint project. Professor

Anderson is also collaborating with Dr. M. A. Arthur (University of Rhode Island)
on mass and isotopic balance considerations on the burial of organic carbon
and sulfur in marine sediments. The results of this study will improve our general
understanding of the role of sedimentary cycles in global redox balancing. One
Ph.D. student is conducting research in this area. Professor Anderson also
maintains his interests in paleo-oceanographic implications of isotopic variations
in Quaternary nannofossils, the origin of ground ice and the sulfur isotope
geochemistry of coal. Future plans include the continuation of studies on secular
isotope variations (oxygen, carbon, sulfur) in marine sediments, with particular
emphasis on mid- and lower-Paleozoic limestones and shales and on oxygen
isotope variations in biogenic phosphates. Professor Anderson would also like
to resume studies of experimental carbonate diagenesis.

JAY D. BASS, Assistant Professor (Ph.D. 1982, State University of New York
at Stony Brook) - Geophysics; Mineral Physics; Elastic Properties of Minerals

Jay D. Bass has been at Illinois since August 1984. His major research efforts
are in the area of experimental geophysics and laboratory measurements of
the physical properties of minerals. Much of his recent work has focused on
measurements of elastic wave velocities in minerals and high-pressure
polymorphic phases by Brillouin spectroscopy, and this work is being further
pursued at Illinois. Brillouin spectroscopy is a light scattering technique that
is particularly well suited for measuring wave velocities in microscopic-sized
samples, many of which are synthesized at high pressures and high temperatures.
The results of such experiments are used to calculate the wave velocities and
density of mineral aggregates under the high-pressure and high-temperature
environment of the Earths deep interior. Comparisons with seismological models
of velocity versus depth in the Earth provide a powerful constraint upon the
chemistry and mineralogy of the Earths mantle, and this is a prime motivation
for measuring elastic properties. In addition to measurements under room
conditions, a program will be initiated to perform these experiments at high
pressure in diamond-window pressure cells, and at high temperatures. Other
research pursuits include: 1) X-ray studies of crystal structures at high pressure,
2) The high-pressure equation of state of oxides and metals which bear on the
composition of the mantle and core, using shock-wave techniques (in collaboration
with the California Institute of Technology), 3) In-situ measurements of stress
in the Earths crust by holographic interfermetry (also with Cal Tech).

CRAIG M. BETHKE, Assistant Professor (A.B. 1980, Dartmouth College, Ph.D.
1985, University of Illinois) Hydrogeology

Craig Bethke's primary research interest is study of the groundwater hydrology
of sedimentary basins through geologic time, and the effects of groundwater
motion on petroleum migration, ore formation, and sediment diagenesis. Recent
work includes a theoretical analysis of the role of compaction-driven groundwater
flow during subsidence of sedimentary basins, performed on a CRAY
supercomputer. He applied this analysis in a study of the relative importance
of compaction-driven and gravity-driven groundwater flow over the geologic
history of the Illinois Basin, and this work has improved understanding of
petroleum migration, as well as the genesis of Mississippi Valley-type ore deposits.
Craig also recently completed research on the illitization reaction of smectite,
a clay mineral dehydration reaction which is an important contributor of deep
fluids and cements in evolving basins. This research was recognized with an
award from the Clay Minerals Society. Current work involves construction
of a numerical chemical reactor model to study the dynamics of sediment
diagenesis, including effects of transport by groundwaters, and study of the
origins of geopressured zones in the subsurface. With the support of petroleum
and minerals companies and governmental sources, Craig is building a
hydrogeology laboratory, complete with supercomputer and interactive computer
graphics facilities.

DANIEL B. BLAKE, Professor (B.S. I960, University of Illinois, M.S. 196Z, Michigan
State, Ph.D. 1966, University of California) Invertebrate Paleontology;
Biostratigraphy

Professor Blake continues to study fossil and modern sea stars, and Paleozoic
Bryozoa. In recent years, his work has taken him to numerous museums in North
America, Europe and Australia. Professor Blake and Dennis Kolata, a geologist
at the Illinois Geological Survey, have begun a paleoecological study of a Middle
Ordovician carbonate and shale interval which is bounded by K-bentonite (altered
volcanic ashes) isochrones. Individual K-bentonites can be recognized from
Minneapolis-St. Paul to south of St. Louis and therefore it is possible to
characterize coeval paleoenvironments on a subcontinental scale. Professor
Blake teaches Introductory Physical Geology, undergraduate Paleontology, and
graduate courses in Paleoecology and Principles of Paleontology. Paleoecology
includes field trips to Southern Illinois and Kentucky.

ALBERT V. CAROZZI, Professor (M.S. 1947, University of Geneva; [Geology
and Mineralogy] Dr.Sc. 1948, University of Geneva) - Sedimentary Petrography;
Petroleum Geology

Professor Carozzi supervises many graduate students in the department
and at the request of one of his major research sponsors, PETROBRAS (The
National Oil Company of Brazil) has recently worked with them in setting up
and implementing a new educational venture which consists of an MS program
by PETROBRAS in association with the Federal University of Ouro Preto (Minas
Gerais). This program includes reservoir geology, structural geology, engineering
geology and basin analysis. Professor Carozzi taught short courses dealing
with the sedimentary petrography of carbonate and siliciclastic rocks, followed
by their depositional models applied to oil exploration for the first phase of
this program in Brazil. He is presently working on the second phase and the
planning of a Ph.D. program. In addition to PETROBRAS research support,
TEXACO USA is supporting microfacies work and experimental development
of secondary porosity in carbonate rocks under simulated deep burial conditions
with application to the Atokan of the Midland Basin and the Smackover of the
Gulf Coast.

CHU-YUNG CHEN, Assistant Professor (B.S. 1977, National Taiwan University,
Ph.D. 1983, MIT) Trace Element Geochemistry; Isotope Geochemistry; Igneous
Petrology

Chu-Yung Chen joined the Department in August 1983 and is setting up a
neutron activation laboratory and an isotope dilution laboratory for high quality
trace-element and isotope analyses. Her research projects include: (1) The
geochemical evolution of Haleakala volcano, East Maui. (2) Trace element
variations of tholeiites, transitional basalts and alkalaic basalts from Mauna
Kea volcano, Hawaii. (3) Rare-earth geochemistry of Hilina formation, Kilauea
volcano, Hawaii. (4) Pb isotopic geochemistry of Loihi seamount. (5) Sr and
Nd isotopes and trace element geochemistry of ultramafic nodules from Mt.
Leura, Victoria, Australia. (6) Trace element studies and factor analyses of
coal from Freeport and aerosol from Houston. (7) Petrological and geochemical
studies of West Maui volcano. (8) Trace element and isotopic (Nd, Sr and Pd)
studies of the transition from tholeiitic to alkalic volcanism on Hawaiian islands.
(9) Geochemistry of high-MgO basalts from Hawaiian volcanoes. (10) Mineral
chemistry of Hawaiian basalts. (11) Ophiolites from Cyprus. (1Z) Kimberlites
and Carbonatites from Illinois. (13) Oxygen isotopic geochemistry of Hawaiian
basalts.

WANG-PING CHEN, Assistant Professor (B.S., National Taiwan University,
1974, Ph.D., MIT, 1979) - Geophysics, Seismology, Tectonics

The research activity of the earthquake seismology group centers around
the quantitative understanding of large scale deformation of the lithosphere.
The most important constraints are obtained from the precise determination
of depth and source mechanism of earthquakes as well as the gravity and geoid
anomalies derived from satellite altimetry observations. Dr. Chen's current
research efforts include studying the relationship between seismic activity
and the thermal-mechanical properties of the lithosphere, source kinematics
of large earthquakes, and the role of strike-slip faulting in the evolution of
regions of extensional tectonics. As a spin-off, a seismic study of the
Azores-Gibraltar plate boundary is also funded by the NSF. The tectonic setting
of this plate boundary is unique because of the presence of divergent,
transcurrent, and convergent characteristics along a single boundary; the
occurrence of ocean-ocean convergence apparently without a Benioff zone;
and the transition from such convergence to continental collision. Dr. Chen
was recently an invited speaker at the Regional Assembly of the International
Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior in India (1984)
and visited the Himalaya as a part of his study on the quantitative aspects
between seismicity and mountain building.

STEPHEN GRAND, Assistant Professor [1986 appointment] (B.Sc. 1978, McGill
University; PhD. 1985, Cal Tech) - Geophysics, Seismology

Stephen Grand is interested in the elastic fine structure of the mantle. Using
synthetic seismogram techniques to understand wave propagation in the mantle,
shear waves from earthquakes can be used to determine structure. Using multiple
bounce shear waves increases the resolution and applicability of the technique.
Recently, using the synthetic seismogram technique, vertical shear profiles
were developed for the Canadian shield, the western United States and the
northwest Atlantic ocean, showing large differences to 400 km depth. Current
research efforts are to derive fully three-dimensional models of the mantle
shear structure beneath North America using the tomography technique,
developing computer codes to make synthetic seismograms appropriate for
propagation through laterally varying structure and investigating deep mantle
structure beneath individual tectonic provinces on a world-wide scale. The
ultimate goal of this research is to help answer questions such as how deep
do continents extend, is the mantle layered and on what scale does convection
occur in the earth.

RICHARD L. HAY, Ralph E. Grim Professor of Geology (B.S. 1947, Northwestern
University; M.S. 1949, Northwestern University; Ph.D. 1952, Princeton University)
- Stratigraphy; Sedimentary Petrology

Most of Professor Hay's work has been concentrated on the general fields
of stratigraphy, paleo-environment of non-marine sediments, pedogenesis, silicate
diagenesis, and volcaniclastic sedimentology. His present major research effort
is on spring-related carbonate rocks and Mg-silicate clays (sepiolite, smectite
and kerolite) that were chemically precipitated in a Pliocene lake basin in the
Amargosa Desert of Nevada-California. By field and laboratory work he and
his students are working out the distribution and paleoenvironments of the
different types of carbonates and clays. A new research interest, developed
at Illinois, is the diagenetic alteration of Ordovician Midcontinent tuffs to
K-feldspar and K-bentonite. He is trying to determine when and under what
conditions the K-feldspar and mixed-layer illite-smectite were formed. This
research is in collaboration with Dennis Kolata of the Illinois Geological Survey.

DONALD M. HENDERSON, Professor (A.B. 1943, Brown University; Ph.D. 1950,
Harvard) - Mineralogy; Crystallography

Professor Henderson's research interests are in the area of transmission
electron microscopic and nuclear magnetic resonance study of the local structures
of minerals. He teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in mineralogy,
optical mineralogy, structural mineralogy and crystallography.

ALBERT T. HSUI, Associate Professor (B.S. 1968, Lowell Technological Institute;
M.S. 1969, Cornell University; Ph.D. 1972, Cornell University) - Geophysics;
Mathematical Modelling; Geodynamics; Planetary Evolution and Borehole
Seismology

Dr. Hsui's research interests include: (a) Planetary differentiation and its
effects on mantle evolution and mantle dynamics; (b) Magma dynamics and
its relationship to the structure of igneous rocks; (c) investigations on the geo-
dynamics at convergent plate boundaries and (d) a new project to study wave
propagation around a borehole. Dr. Hsui teaches a general geology course for
science and geology majors, exploration geophysics and two other graduate
courses in Geodynamics and Mathematical Methods in Geology.

W. HILTON JOHNSON, Associate Professor (A.B. 1956, Earlham College, M.S.
1961, University of Illinois; Ph.D. 1962, University of Illinois) - Quaternary
Stratigraphy; Glacial Geology

Dr. Johnson is working on a project, supported by NASA through the Jet
Propulsion Lab, to evaluate the use of Shuttle Imaging Radar-B data in the
delineation and mapping of glacial geology and meltwater drainage landforms
from central Illinois to central Ohio. The radar and other remote sensing data
will be integrated with ongoing stratigraphic and sedimentologic studies in making
interpretations of the dynamics and interactions of some of the major lobes
and sublobes along the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Graduate
students under Johnson's supervision are working on a variety of projects
including: Quaternary geology and glacial sedimentology in the Precambrian
shield terraine of south-central Ontario, late Pleistocene and Holocene fluvial
geomorphology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the lower Illinois River valley
region, provenance of Illinoian and pre-Illinoian tills in south-central Illinois,
and late Quaternary geology of the Napoleon Hollow Archeological site, Illinois
River valley. Dr. Johnson teaches Introduction to the Study of the Earth, Glacial
Geology, Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology. Field trips taken locally
and to central Wisconsin emphasize glacial geology and stratigraphy, to central
and southwestern Illinois focus on glacial stratigraphy, paleosols, late Pleistocene
and Holocene fluvial geomorphology and alluvial stratigraphy; trips to Indiana
emphasize glacial and bedrock geomorphology of the karst plain near Bedford.

R. JAMES KIRKPATRICK, Professor (B.S. 1968, Cornell University; Ph.D. 1972,
University of Illinois) - Igneous and Experimental Petrology, NMR Spectroscopy

For several years Professor Kirkpatrick's research has centered on the use
of magic-angle sample-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MASS
NMR) in examining the structures of silicate crystals and glasses (quenched
melts). One aim of this work is to better understand the thermodynamic,
mechanical, and crystallization behavior of lava and magma and thereby the
origin, evolution, and crystallization of igneous rocks. Another major objective
is to use MASS NMR to examine the structure of crystalline phases that are
too fine grained to be examined by single crystal x-ray or neutron diffraction
such as clay minerals. This research program is being conducted in collaboration
with Prof. Eric Oldfield of the School of Chemical Sciences, Professor D.M.
Henderson and students and post-doctoral fellows in both Geology and Chemistry.
Professor Kirkpatrick teaches Igneous and Metamorphic Petrography, Igneous
Petrology (Graduate Level) and Geochemical Kinetics.

GEORGE deVRIES KLEIN, Professor (B.A. 1954, Wesleyan University; M.A.
1957, University of Kansas; Ph.D. I960, Yale University) Sedimentology; Marine
Geology; Sandstone Petrology and Diagenesis; Petroleum Geology of Clastic
Reservoirs; Basin Analysis

Dr. Klein's research interests are focused on several topics. These include
(1) Paleogeographic distribution of depositional systems through time, (2) Analysis
of the timing of depositional systems and sandstone diagenetic events to the
geodynamic and tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins, (3) Correlation of
sedimentological, tectonic and volcanic events in back-arc basins of the western
Pacific, and (4) Understanding processes of sedimentation, preservation potential
and mass balancing of terrigenous sediments delivered from continents to ocean
basins. This last project involves analysis of changing turbidite sedimentation
history in submarine fans to changes in continental sediment yield, uplift rate
and denudation rate, and comparing such data to petrologic data so as to ascertain
the role of weathering history, sea level change and tectonics to preservation
potential of marine sediments. Analysis of sedimentary basins has focused
on back-arc basins and cratonic basins and devising solutions for recognizing
ancient basins of controversial origin. Paleogeographic analysis has focused
on storm and tidal sedimentary systems.

RALPH L. LANGENHEIM, JR., Professor (B.S. Geol. Engineering 1943, University
of Tulsa; M.S. 1947, University of Colorado; Ph.D. 1951, University of Minnesota)
- Stratigraphy, Paleontology, Field Geology, Geology of Energy, Coal

Professor Langenheim's research centers on Pennsylvanian stratigraphy
and biostratigraphy in the Illinois Basin and southern Nevada. Presently major
effort is being devoted to determining brachiopod ranges in the Arrow Canyon,
Nevada section which has been proposed for several regional and/or world
stratotypes. Study of latest Chesterian and early Atokan brachiopods is planned
for the immediate future as well as regional study of Atokan and Desmoinesian
stratigraphy and biostratigraphy in the southern part of the Cordilleran
Miogeocline. He teaches History of the Earth, Geology of Energy and Field
Geology at the elementary level; Principles of Stratigraphy at the intermediate
level and graduate courses in Stratigraphy. He is Director of the Summer Geology
Field Camp which is held in Wyoming.

C. JOHN MANN, Professor (B.S. 1953, University of Kansas; M.S. 1957, University
of Kansas; Ph.D. 1961, University of Wisconsin) - Stratigraphy; Mathematical
Geology; Petroelum Geology

Professor Mann's mathematical geology research work, sponsored by Sandia
National Laboratories, attempts to determine probabilities and probability density
functions of natural geological events and processes in order to more accurately
predict hazards accompanying long-term storage of nuclear waste materials.
Dr. Mann is also examining the evolution of stratigraphic sequences in an effort
to more accurately determine periodicities and cyclicities which are known
to be present as well as to perhaps detect new ones which previously have gone
undetected. He teaches Geology for Engineers, General Geology, and Principles
of Stratigraphy. These courses include field trips to southern Indiana, Upper
Wabash River Valley and San Salvador Island, Bahamas. Studies in the Bahamas
are on algal structures in a brackish to hypersaline lake in an attempt to relate
structures and lack of structures in the mounds to environmental conditions
under which they are growing.

STEPHEN MARSHAK, Assistant Professor (A.B. 1976, Cornell University; M.S.
1979, University of Arizona; Ph.D. 1983, Columbia University) - Structural
Geology and Tectonics

Dr. Marshak's current research focuses on field analysis of structural geometry
and fabrics in fold-thrust belts and in poly-phase deformed metamorphic terranes.

This work presently involves studies in two regions: the Appalachian foreland
in New York State and the Sonoran desert of western Arizona. His work on
oroclinal bending in the Appalachians is currently being funded by the National
Science Foundation. Conditional on funding, Dr. Marshak anticipates beginning
a new project (with D.E. Anderson) on basement geology of the Transantarctic
Mountains. Student theses in structural geology and tectonics (some of which
are shared with D.E. Anderson) at the University of Illinois are on topics such
as: structures of the Appalachian fold-thrust belt near Kingston, New York;
polyphase deformation of Mesozoic strata in the Granite Wash Mountains,
Arizona; mylonite evolution in the Buckskin Mountains, Arizona; petrographic
and geochemical changes occuring during deformation of limestone; shear zone
development in mafic dikes of northwest Scotland. Dr. Marshak's teaching
responsibilities include: introductory structure, advanced structure, and
geotectonics. Course field trips have run to northern Michigan, central Wisconsin,
and eastern Tennessee. Two new courses are anticipated: Tectonics of the
southern Cordillera (with D.E. Anderson), and Rock rheology (with J.D. Bass
and W.-P. Chen).

ALBERTO S. NIETO, Associate Professor (B.S. 1961, San Marcos University;
M.S. 1963, Washington University; Ph.D. 1974, University of Illinois) - Engineering
Geology; Applied Rock Mechanics

PHILIP A. SANDBERG, Professor (B.S. cum laude I960; M.S. 1961, Louisiana
State University. Fil. Lie, 1964; Fil. Dr., 1965 University of Stockholm) -
Carbonate Sedimentology; Micropaleontology; Historical Geology

Professor Sandberg's current research is in part on the temporal variation
in non-skeletal carbonate mineralogy and its relationship to plate-tectonically
mediated chemical changes in the ocean, particularly pCO;>. Another major
research effort is devoted to the study of microcrystalline limestones, including
the role of cementation and compaction in lime mud diagenesis, and temporal
and environmental variations in lime mud diagenesis and precursor carbonate
mud types. Professor Sandberg teaches Carbonate Sedimentology, the SEM
portion of Microbeam Analysis (SEM and electron microprobe), Micropaleontology,
and an Intersession field course entitled "Introduction to Modern Marine
Carbonate Environments" This field group looks at Florida Cenozoic carbonates
in the panhandle area, along the west coast and around Miami, then goes to
the Florida Keys region to study modern equivalents of ancient carbonates.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS GEOLOGY LIBRARY

The Library of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the
third largest university library in the country; our collection is surpassed
in size only by the collections of Harvard and Yale. At present, we have
over 6 million books and printed serials, and over 3 million non-book items
including microfilms, videotapes, and maps. In 1985 the University of Illinois
Library switched to a computer catalog system, which permits the
identification of items by authors, titles, or keywords. The new system
will also search the collections of affiliated libraries in addition to our
own, and will automatically request books for delivery via campus mail.
A terminal in the Geology Library permits direct access to GeoRef and
other online sci/tech databases.

The Geology Library is housed in the Natural History Building along
with the Department, thereby permitting easy access to books, journals,
and maps. The total geology collection of the University includes over
160,000 volumes (of which half are in the Geology Library and the remainder
are in the Main Library) and 55,000 catalogued sheet maps. Our holdings
are notable for complete sets of all primary and most secondary American
and foreign geological journals. The collection also includes a substantial
selection of Soviet geological literature.

The University Library's Rare Books Room is repository for one of the

world's outstanding collections of rare and early geological literature.
Included in the collection are, among others, first editions of classic works
by Agricola, Steno, Gesner, Biringucci, Smith, Maclure, Hutton, Werner,
and Agassiz. We also possess a substantial selection of early American
geological works. An annotated 565 page catalog to this collection by
D. Ward and A. Carozzi was published in 1984 by the University of Illinois
Library.

The Geology Library is managed by full-time staff, headed by Dederick
Ward. Mr. Ward is active in national and international geoscience
information efforts. He currently serves on the GeoRef advisory committee
of the American Geological Institute.

Library Staff member Suzanne Hayes, Librarian Dederick C. Ward and staff
member Diana Walter in Geology Library Map Room. The Geology Library
houses over 80,000 volumes and 55,000 sheet maps in the Natural History Building.

COLLOQUIUM PROGRAMS

INTRODUCTION

Recent appointments in the Geology Department have completed our new
research and teaching program in geophysics-seismology and mineral physics
as well as reinforcing previous strengths in the areas of groundwater geology,
clay mineralogy, geochemistry and the broad study of tectonics, diagenesis,
sedimentology, structural geology, and historical geology.

A diverse range of research instrumentation is housed within the Geology
department including: an automated electron microprobe; gas source mass spec-
trometer, SEM; 11. 7T NMR spectrometer, X-ray diffractometers, XRF and
AA units; neutron activation analysis system; seismological laboratory and library;
hydrology laboratory with high-speed link to a supercomputer ; Brillouin spec-
trometer; cold seal and diamond-anvil high-pressure equipment; laboratories
for sedimentological and mineralogical studies. Departmental computing facilit-
ies include an Alliant FX-8 Supercomputer with a high speed link to CRAY-XMP
in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. An outstanding geology
library is located in the Geology building.

The Department of Geology encourages cooperative research with the depart-
ments of Physics, Chemistry, Plant Biology, and Mathematics, the School of
Engineering, and the Centers for Materials Research and Electron Microscopy.
The extensive facilities in these and other units on campus are readily available
and commonly used by Geology faculty and students. Examples include transmis-
sion and scanning electron microscopes, ion probes and diffractometers in the
Materials Research Laboratory and Center for Electron Microscopy; facilities
for NMR, ESR, and IR spectroscopy in the School of Chemical Sciences.

The Department is fortunate to share the campus with the Illinois State
Geological Survey, an organization with a rich tradition of research. Members
of the Survey and the Department cooperate in research programs and graduate
teaching in areas such as groundwater and environmental geology, clay mineral-
ogy, quaternary geology, coal geology, stratigraphy and paleobiology.

With approximately 60 graduate students, the Department maintains strong
programs in research and teaching. The list on the following page outlines some
major areas that include a broad coverage of theoretical, experimental and
field research. The list is not exhaustive and cross-disciplinary programs are
available.

FACULTY. PROFILES

STEPHEN P. ALTANER, Assist. Professor [1986 Appointment] (B.S., Colgate
U. 1979; Ph.D. Univ. of Illinois 1985) - Clays and Diagenesis; Sedimentary Petrol-
ogy

Professor Altaner's main research interests are in the fields of clay mineralogy
and clay petrology. He investigates conditions of clay mineral formation in
sedimentary and diagenetic environments, in soils, and in hydrothermal environ-
ments. Specific research topics in clay petrology include diffusion in argillaceous
rocks, kinetics of diagenetic clay mineral reactions, determination of thermal
and burial histories of sediments, occurrence of ammonium in rocks and minerals,
and clay mineral formation in saline, alkaline lakes. Results of this type of
research will have applications in the fields of petroleum exploration, mineral
prospecting, and nuclear waste disposal. Field relations, petrography, chemical
analysis, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, stable and radiogenic
isotope analysis, mathematical modeling, and experimental petrology techniques
will be used for this research. Mineralogical research will include the structural
analysis of mixed-layer and non mixed-layer clay minerals using transmission
electron microscopy, near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic
resonance (to complement the program of R.J. Kirkpatrick).

DAVID E. ANDERSON, Professor and Head (BSc-Hons., Univ. of Sydney,
Australia, 1961; M.S. & PH.D. 1967, Univ. of Sydney, Australia) - Metamorphic
and Theoretical Petrology

THOMAS F. ANDERSON, Professor (B.S. 1961, DePauw University, Ph.D. 1967,
Columbia University) - Stable Isotope Geochemistry

Professor Anderson's principal research interests are in the stable isotope
geochemistry of sediments and natural waters. The focus of his current activities
is on the significance of stable isotope variations in marine sediments during
the Phanerozoic. Investigations in progress in this area include the following:

(1) The oxygen isotope record of Paleozoic calcite fossils as implications of
the history of oceanic temperatures and hydrosphere - lithosphere interactions.

(2) Mass and isotopic burial fluxes of reduced sulfur and organic carbon during
the Cretaceous. (3) Chemical and isotopic studies (including oxygen isotopes
in biogenic phosphates) on rocks and fossils along a Middle Ordovician depth
gradient in the Taconic Fouland Basin. (4) The petrology. Chemistry, and isotopic

composition of sulfides from hydrothermally altered oceanic rocks, with emphasis
on the role of sea water - crust interaction in controlling the mass and isotopic
cycle of marine sulfate. Professor Anderson is also involved in experimental
and theoretical studies of the partitioning of isotopes and trace elements during
the dissolution and precipitation of carbonates. Professor Anderson teaches
chemistry of the Earth, Oceanography, Isotope Geochemistry, and Sedimentary
Geochemistry.

JAY D. BASS, Assistant Professor (Ph.D. 1982, State University of New York
at Stony Brook) - Geophysics; Mineral Physics; Elastic Properties of Minerals

Jay D. Bass has been at Illinois since August 1984. His major research efforts
are in the area of experimental geophysics and laboratory measurements of
the physical properties of minerals. Much of his recent work has focused on
measurements of elastic wave velocities in minerals and high-pressure polymor-
phic phases by Brillouin spectroscopy, and this work is being further pursued
at Illinois. Brillouin spectroscopy is a light scattering technique that is particu-
larly well suited for measuring wave velocities in microscopic-sized samples,
many of which are synthesized at high pressures and high temperatures. The
results of such experiments are used to calculate the wave velocities and density
of mineral aggregates under the high-pressure and high-temperature environment
of the Earths deep interior. Comparisons with seismological models of velocity
versus depth in the Earth provide a powerful constraint upon the chemistry
and mineralogy of the Earths mantle, and this is a prime motivation for measuring
elastic properties. In addition to measurements under room conditions, a program
will be initiated to perform these experiments at high pressure in diamond-window
pressure cells, and at high temperatures. Other research pursuits include: 1)
X-ray studies of crystal structures at high pressure, 2) The high-pressure equation
of state of oxides and metals which bear on the composition of the mantle and
core, using shock-wave techniques (in collaboration with the California Institute
of Technology), 3) In-situ measurements of stress in the Earths crust by holograph-
ic interfermetry (also with Cal Tech).

CRAIG M. BETHKE, Assistant Professor (A.B. 1980, Dartmouth College, Ph.D.
1985, University of Illinois) Hydrogeology

Craig Bethke's primary research interest is study of the groundwater hydrology
of sedimentary basins through geologic time, and the effects of groundwater
motion on petroleum migration, ore formation, and sediment diagenesis. Craig
received a 1986 Presidential Young Investigator Award for this research. Recent
work includes a theoretical analysis of the role of compaction-driven groundwater
flow during subsidence of sedimentary basins, performed on a CRAY supercompu-
ter. He applied this analysis in a study of the relative importance of compaction-
driven and gravity-driven groundwater flow over the geologic history of the
Illinois Basin, and this work has improved understanding of petroleum migration,
as well as the genesis of Mississippi Valley-type ore deposits. Craig also recently
completed research on the illitization reaction of smectite, a clay mineral dehy-
dration reaction which is an important contributor of deep fluids and cements
in evolving basins. Current work involves construction of a numerical chemical
reactor model to study the dynamics of sediment diagenesis, including effects
of transport by groundwaters, and study of the origins of geopressured zones
in the subsurface, and investigation of the fluid pressure regimes within
fold-thrust belts during orogenies. With the support of petroleum and minerals
companies and governmental sources, Craig is building a hydrogeology laboratory,
complete with an Alliant FX/8 supercomputer, one of the world's most powerful
computers.

DANIEL B. BLAKE, Professor (B.S. 1960, University of Illinois, M.S. 1962, Michigan
State, Ph.D. 1966, University of California) Invertebrate Paleontology;
Biostratigraphy

Professor Blake has recently completed a phylogenetic analysis of all post-
Paleozoic asteroids, and a review of asteroid classification and functional mor-
phology. With Thomas E. Guensburg, a former graduate student, he is now study-
ing the water vascular system and functional morphology of Paleozoic asteroids,
and with Edward M. Snyder, another former student, he is studying phylogeny
of Paleozoic bryozoans. He and his graduate students are working on field and
laboratory studies of the paleoecology and biogeography of Carboniferous bryozo-
ans, and a paleoecological analysis of a widely distributed Ordovician interval
bounded by two K-bentonite (altered volcanic ash) isochrones. Professor Blake
teaches Introductory Physical Geology, undergraduate Paleontology, and graduate
courses in Paleoecology and Principles of Paleontology. Paleoecology includes
field trips to Southern Illinois and Kentucky.

ALBERT V. CAROZZI, Professor (M.S. 1947, University of Geneva;[Geology
and Mineralogy] Dr.Sc. 1948, University of Geneva) - Sedimentary Petrography;
Petroleum Geology

Professor Carozzi is continuing carbonate microfacies studies in the Paleozoic
of the Mid-Continent and with support from TEXACO USA is undertaking experi-
mental studies on the development of stylolitic secondary porosity under simulat-
ed deep burial conditions with application to the Atokan of the Midland Basin
and the Smackover of the Gulf Coast. He has just completed two books. The
first one entitled "Carbonate Rock Depositional Models: a Microfacies Approach"
is a worldwide synthesis of his own studies and that of his graduate students
over a period of more than 35 years. The volume which has 500 illustrations
is scheduled to be published by I.H.R.D.C. Press in Boston in late fall 1986. The
second volume was prepared in collaboration with Dr. Chengyun Yang of the
Department of Geology, Peking University who was a research associate with
Professor Carozzi in this Department in 1982. The book is entitled "Practical
Classification and Microfacies Analysis of Carbonate Rocks" and illustrated
by 200 plates of photomicrographs. This bilingual (Chinese-English) volume
has a preface by Dr. Shicung Guan of Academia Sinica. It will be released late
this year by the Printing House of Peking University. It will be the first book
on carbonate rocks ever published in the People's Republic of China.

CHU-YUNG CHEN, Assistant Professor (B.S. 1977, National Taiwan University,
Ph.D. 1983, MIT) Trace Element Geochemistry; Isotope Geochemistry; Igneous
Petrology

Chu-Yung Chen joined the Department in August 1983 and is setting up a
neutron activation laboratory and an isotope dilution laboratory for high quality
trace-element and isotope analyses. Her research projects include: (1) The
geochemical evolution of Haleakala volcano, East Maui. (2) Trace element

basalts.

WANG-PING CHEN, Associate Professor (B.S., National Taiwan Univ., 1974,
Ph.D., MIT, 1979) - Geophysics, Seismology, Tectonics

The research activity of the earthquake seismology group is focusing on
the quantitative understanding of large scale deformation of the lithosphere.
We constrain the thermo-mechanical properties of the lithosphere by precisely
determining the depth and focal mechanism of earthquakes, and by analyzing
the gravity and geoid anomalies derived from satellite altimetry. Our current
research projects include: plate coupling and the unbending of the subducted
lithosphere, the relationship between earthquake generation and rheology, source
kinematics of large earthquake sequences, the nature of strike-slip faulting
in regions of extensional tectonics, and the high resolution reflection imaging
of a fold-and-thrust belt in the Hudson valley.

RANDALL T. CYGAN, Assistant Professor (1987) (B.S. 1977, University of
Illinois at Chicago, M.S. 1980 and Ph.D. 1983, Pennsylvania State University)
- Geochemistry, Mineral Physics

Randall Cygan is active in research dealing with the mineral equilibria and
chemical kenetics of geochemical processes. Of primary interest in his research
is the examination of chemical diffusion processes in silicate minerals as a
means of extracting the thermal histories of mineral assemblages in crystalline
rocks. Experimental research includes the examination of cation diffusion rates
in high temperature phases, such as garnet and olivine, using electron and ion
microprobe analytical techniques. High temperature measurements of electrical
behavior involving the conductivity and dielectric response of silicate minerals
are being performed to elucidate the point defect structure of the phase. The
type and number of defects will dictate the energies and, ultimately, the rates
of ionic transport. Theoretical approaches, including the ionic modeling of
silicate mineral structures and physical properties, complement the experimental
work and provide insight into the nature of chemical bonding in silicates. His
other research interests include the examination of rock-water interactions
and the kinetics and mechanisms of mineral dissolution, chemical fractionation
and transport processes in magmatic systems, and the nucleation kinetics of
silicate minerals.

STEPHEN GRAND, Assistant Professor [1986 appointment] (B.Sc. 1978, McGill
University; PhD. 1986, Cal Tech) - Geophysics, Seismology

RICHARD L. HAY, Ralph E. Grim Professor of Geology (B.S. 1947, Northwestern
University; M.S. 1949, Northwestern University; Ph.D. 1952, Princeton University)
- Stratigraphy; Sedimentary Petrology

Professor Hay's work has been concentrated on the general fields of strati-
graphy, paleoenvironments of semiarid basins, pedogenesis, silicate diagenesis,
and volcaniclastic sedimentology. His present major research effort is on spring-
related carbonate rocks and Mg-silicate clays (sepiolite, smectite and kerolite)
that were chemically precipitated in a Pliocene lake basin in the Amargosa
Desert of Nevada-California. He and his students have worked out the distribu-
tion, paleoenvironment, and origin of the different types of carbonates and
clays. Other research interests are diagenetic alteration of Ordovician tuffs
in the Midcontinent to K-feldspar and K-bentonite (with Dennis Kolata of the
ISGS and Mingchou Lee of Case Western University), silicate diagenesis in Searles
Lake, California (with Sandra Guldman), and carbonatite eruptive rocks.

DONALD M. HENDERSON, Professor (A.B. 1943, Brown University; Ph.D. 1950,
Harvard) - Mineralogy; Crystallography

Professor Henderson's principal research interests are concerned with local
structures in minerals and with their study via such approaches as nuclear magnet-
ic resonance, electron diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Current-
ly, he is studying ordering and local structures in feldspars. He is interested
also in the educational uses of microcomputers. He teaches undergraduate
and graduate courses in mineralogy, optical mineralogy, x-ray diffraction, struc-
tural mineralogy and crystallography.

Dr. Hsui's research interests are basically in the pursue of fundamental under-
standing of the working principles of various geological and tectonic processes.
Some of his past and continuing research topics include: (a) investigations of
geodynamic processes at convergent plate boundaries; (b) planetary differentiation
and its effects on mantle evolution and mantle dynamics; (c) fluid dynamics
within magma bodies and their relationships to the formation of igneous rocks.
More recently, a few new projects have been formulated. One of the new topics
is to study wave propagation around a borehole. This is to improve our present
understanding of vertical seismic profiling and to provide improved interpretation
of acoustic logging results. Another project is to carry out a comparative analysis
of the SEASAT altimetry data and the MAGSAT data to gain better understanding
of the crustal and the upper mantle structure of the Earth. Additionally, a
new project has been developed jointly with Professor G. deV. Klein to study
sedimentation, subsidence, thermal and tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins.
Dr. Hsui teaches a general geology course for science and geology majors, explor-
ation geophysics and other graduate courses in Geodynamics and Mathematical
Methods in Geology.

W. HILTON JOHNSON, Associate Professor (A.B. 1956, Earlham CoUege, M.S.
1961, University of Illinois; Ph.D. 1962, University of Illinois) - Quaternary Strati-
graphy; Glacial Geology

Dr. Johnson's research interests are in the areas of geomorphology, glacial
geology and stratigraphy. His work is concentrated on the surficial deposits
in Illinois in cooperation with colleagues at the State Geological Survey. Current-
ly he is working on relict periglacial features dating from the last glaciation,
Wisconsinan stratigraphic correlations and drainage events in northeastern Illinois
(with A. K. Hansel), on geomorphic mapping of the Woodfordian drift plain using
remote sensing and related methods, and on interactions between the Lake
Michigan and Huron-Erie glacial lobes in eastern Illinois and western Indiana
(with N. K. Bleuer). Graduate students under Johnson's supervision are working
on a variety of projects including: Quaternary geology and glacial sedimentology
in the Precambrian shield terraine of south-central Ontario, late Pleistocene
and Holocene fluvial geomorphology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the
lower Illinois River valley region, provenance of Illinoian and pre-Illinoian tills
in south-central Illinois, and late Quaternary geology of the Middle Fork Vermilion
River valley. Dr. Johnson teaches Introduction to the Study of the Earth, Glacial
Geology, Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology. Field trips taken locally
and to central Wisconsin emphasize glacial geology and stratigraphy; trips to
central and southwestern Illinois focus on glacial stratigraphy, paleosols, late
Pleistocene and Holocene fluvial geomorphology and alluvial stratigraphy; trips
to Indiana emphasize glacial geology and bedrock and Karst geomorphology
of the unglaciated area of south-central Indiana.

R. JAMES KIRKPATRICK, Professor (B.S. 1968, CorneU University; Ph.D. 1972,
University of niinois) - Igneous and Experimental Petrology, NMR Spectroscopy

For several years Professor Kirkpatrick's research has centered on the use
of magic-angle sample-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MASS
NMR) in examining the structures of silicate crystals and glasses (quenched
melts). One major objective of this work is to better understand the
thermodynamic, mechanical, and crystallization behavior of lava and magma
and thereby the origin, evolution, and crystallization of igneous rocks. Another
major objective is to use MASS NMR to examine the structure of crystalline
phases that are too fine grained to be examined by single crystal x-ray or neutron
diffraction, such as clay minerals. A third major objective is to develop advanced
NMR spectroscopic methods to examine solid materials. This research program
is being conducted in collaboration with Professor Eric Oldfield of the School
of Chemical Sciences, Professor D.M. Henderson, Professor S. P. Altaner, and
students and post-doctoral fellows in both Geology and Chemistry. Professor
Kirkpatrick teaches Igneous and Metamorphic Petrography, Igneous Petrology
(Graduate Level) and Geochemical Kinetics.

GEORGE deVRIES KLEIN, Professor (B.A. 1954, Wesleyan University; M.A.
1957, University of Kansas; Ph.D. 1960, Yale University) Basin Analysis; Clastic
Sedimentology Geology and Sedimentology; Sandstone Petrology and Diagenesis

Dr. Klein's research activities deal with several aspects of basin analysis
and Clastic sedimentary systems. These include (1) Analysis of the timing of
depositional systems, diagenetic events, sea level history, global sedimentary
cycling and paleoclimatic events to the geodynamic and tectonic subsidence
history of sedimentary basins. Research in this area has focused on the Illinois
Basin in cooperation with Dr. A. T. Hsui and with the Illinois State Geological
Survey, and on back-arc basins of the western Pacific. Analysis of sedimentary
basins involving the transition from an active margin into continental crust

is in the planning stage in the Yellow Sea of Korea. (2) Paleogeographic distribu-
tion of depositional systems through time. Research in this area has focused
on storm depositional systems, tidal sedimentary systems and deep water subma-
rine fans and turbidites. (3) clastic diagenesis. Research in this area has focused
on downhole diagenetic changes in response to thermally-driven fluid circulation
in back-arc basins, and a current project in the Illinois Basin. (4) Understanding
the controls and processes of correlating bedload sediment yield from continents
to oceans. This program has focused on bedload sediment yield in active continen-
tal margins tying sediment yield and turbidite periodicity in ocean basins to
rate of tectonic uplift. Dr. Klein teaches Geology 309 (Sedimentology and Sedi-
mentary Geology), Geology 310 (Field and Laboratory Procedures in Sedimen-
tology; this is a laboratory course which accompanies Geology 309, Geology
477 (Recent Sedimentary Environments). Course field trips are run to the
Vermillion River of Illinois (to study point bar evolution), central Indiana (to
examine clastic and carbonate facies), and the Arkoma Basin and Ouachita
Mountains of Arkansas and Oklahoma to examine Carboniferous clastic deposi-
tional systems.

Professor Langenheim's research centers on Pennsylvanian stratigraphy
and biostratigraphy in the Illinois Basin and southern Nevada. Presently major
effort is being devoted to determining brachiopod ranges in the Arrow Canyon,
Nevada section which has been proposed for several regional and/or world strato-
types. Study of Latest Chesterian through Late Morrowan faunas is currently
under way as well as a regional study of Atokan and Desmoinesian stratigraphy
and biostratigraphy in the southern part of the Cordilleran Miogeocline. He
also is involved in the work of the various IUGS subcommittees seeking to define
Late Carboniferous stratotypes. He teaches History of the Earth, Geology
of Energy and Field Geology at the elementary level; Principles of Stratigraphy
at the intermediate level and graduate courses in Stratigraphy. He is Director
of the Summer Geology Field Camp which is held in Wyoming.

C. JOHN MANN, Professor (B.S. 1953, University of Kansas; M.S. 1957, University
of Kansas; Ph.D. 1961, University of Wisconsin) - Stratigraphy; Mathematical
Geology; Petroelum Geology

STEPHEN MARSHAK, Assistant Professor (A.B. 1976, Cornell University; M.S.
1979, University of Arizona; Ph.D. 1983, Columbia University) - Structural
Geology and Tectonics

Dr. Marshak's current research interests are in the area of field structural
geology. Along with several graduate students, he has been focusing efforts
on two field areas during the past three years. One group has been studying
the mechanism of orocline formation in the Appalachian fold-thrust belt near
Kingston, New York (the work was supported by NSF). As a result of this work,
they have been able to demonstrate that oroclines in thin-skinned domains can
develop by reactivation of detachment faults during non-coaxial shear;
second-generation movement on such faults results in rotation of hanging-wall
folds and in development of complex accommodation structures. One student
in the group has also looked in detail at the nature of grain-scale extensional
fabrics in cleaved limestone of the fold-thrust belt. He has discovered, by appli-
cation of Fry strain analysis, that the microlithons between cleavage domains
are locally stretched by as much as 8096 parallel to cleavage, and thus are not
passive during cleavage formation. A second group has been working in the
Sonoran desert region of western Arizona. One of the students has just completed
a study of poly-phase contractional Mesozoic structures in the Granite Wash
Mountains. A second student has been working on the nature of basement/cover
relations and on fold evolution and metamorphic history in the mylonite of the
Buckskin Mountains "core complex." Another of the structure students is current-
ly working on the relationship between basement structure and seismicity in
the central Adirondack Mountains of New York. Contingent on funding, Dr.
Marshak anticipates initiating two new projects; the first concerns chronology
of tectonism in the mid-continent, and the second concerns the basement tecton-
ics of a portion of the Transantarctic Mountains.

ALBERTO S. NIETO, Associate Professor (B.S. 1961, San Marcos University;
M.S. 1963, Washington University; Ph.D. 1974, University of Illinois) - Engineering
Geology; Applied Rock Mechanics

Dr. Nieto's main professional interests are applied rock mechanics and the
geotechnical characterization of large engineering sites such as hydroelectric
projects, underground storage caverns, waste disposal sites, surface and under-
ground mines, major highways, foundations for large structures and others.
In the last two years he has investigated the precursory, moment-driven deforma-
tion of some very large rockslides in Peru, Italy and Canada. He is also studying
the role of water (apart from its effect on effective stresses) in the triggering
of slope movements in mountainous, semiarid regions. He is presently supervising
Ph.D. theses on shear strength of soil-filled discontinuities in rock masses and
the analysis of a new model for slope failures that involves a combination of
toppling and sliding. Dr. Nieto teaches Geology for Engineers, Principles of
Engineering Geology and Practice of Engineering Geology at undergraduate
and graduate levels; he also holds a joint appointment in the Civil Engineering
Department where he collaborates in research projects in geotechnical engineer-
ing.

PHILIP A. SANDBERG, Professor (B.S. cum laude 1960; M.S. 1961, Louisiana
State University. Fil. Lie., 1964; Fil. Dr., 1965 University of Stockholm) -
Carbonate Sedimentology; Micropaleontology; Historical Geology

Dr. Sandberg has begun a new research program on appliation of immunology
to carbonate sedimentology and paleontology. This NSF-funded study is a joint
effort with Peter Westbroek (a Visiting Professor, in our department, from
the Dept. of Biochemistry, Univ. of Leiden, Netherlands). This study will investi-
gate the use of antibodies raised against the matrix of modern carbonate skeletons
for determination of source organisms for carbonate sediments and taxonomic
affinity of uncertain fossil taxa. In connection with this new research program,
Dr. Sandberg has taken coursework in immunochemistry and has been awarded
an Associateship in the Center for Advanced Studies (Spring 1987), and a Fellow-
ship in the LAS program of Study in a Second Discipline (Fall 1986). During
part of that time, he will be engaged in training and research in Leiden, where
an international Center for Geoimmunology is developing. Research on carbonate
mud sources and micrite diagenesis is continuing, including textural-compositional
studies of ancient micrites, experimental diagenesis (hydrothermal bombs) of
carbonate muds, and investigation of trace element-isotopic signatures as indicat-
ors of most probable modern carbonate mud contributors. Dr. Sandberg's teaching
responsibilities include: Carbonate Sedimentology, the SEM portion of Microbeam
Analysis (SEM and electron microprobe), Micropaleontology, and an Intersession
field course in the Florida Keys entitled "Introduction to Modern Marine Carbon-
ate Environments".

Tom Corbet and Ming-Ku
Lee model deep groundwater
flow on the Alliant FX-8
in the department's Center
for Supercomputing in Hydro-
geology. The revolutionary
architecture of the FX-8
uses eight parallel computing
heads simultaneously to
perform at speeds rivaling
the world's fastest computer.
A fiber optic link connects
the FX-8 to other campus
computers including a Cray
XMP-48.

WYOMING FIELD WORK

WYOMING FIELD CAMP

The Summer Geology Field Camp presents a comprehensive instructional
program; beginning with teaching the principal techniques of field geology,
continuing through semi-independent mapping and problem solving, and culminat-
ing in reconnaissance of regional relationships between the Central Stable Region,
the Rocky Mountain Foreland, the Paleozoic Continental Margin, the Sevier
and Laramide thrust belts and the Yellowstone volcanic province. Students
map on topographic base, with aerial photographs and, briefly, with plane table.
Stratigraphic sections are measured by several techniques. Mapping ranges
from detailed study of intensely deformed rocks, through large scale studies
of small areas to reconnaissance mapping of areas in excess of twenty square
miles. The program is designed to accommodate students of moderate to little
formal geologic background and essentially no knowledge of field geology. It
is intended to enable them to begin independent work in the field and to qualify
them for entry-level professional work as field geologists.

Field mapping is conducted on the northeastern flack of the Big Horn Moun-
tains which exposes a Cambrian through Paleocene sedimentary sequence resting
on a Precambrian crystalline complex. Structural relationships are moderately
challenging and exposures range from very good to poor. Regional study involves
field trips through the High Black Hills, Yellowstone, Tetons, Beartooth Mtns.,
Hoback Canyon, Wind River Range, Owl Creek Mtns., and the Big Horn Mountains.

We try to maintain a student staff ratio of 6:1. Our staff is diverse in interests
with most of the main branches of field-oriented geology represented. Currently
we have operated with three to four senior staff aided by a similar number
of graduate teaching assistants.

In addition to its instructional program, the field camp staff maintains a
continuing research effort in the field area. Currently the staff is engaged
in compiling geologic maps on newly published 7 1/2' quadrangles and in special
projects on the Precambrian, the Bighorn Dolomite, the Devono-Silurian interval,
the Tensleep Sandstone, and the uppermost Cretaceous. Six quadrangles with
supporting structure sections have been published and another is in press. A
paper on Late Ordovician paleontology and stratigraphy is in press. Several
presentations have been made at national and local GSA or AAPG meetings.
Staff personnel have been active in Penrose Conferences on foreland structure
and have made many presentations at meetings of the Wyoming Geological
Association. Seven graduate and/or senior theses have been completed since
1980 and one is currently in progress. Investigators from Urbana, as well as
from other institutions, frequently seek our aid in gathering data and/or ideas
on many aspects of local geology.

houses over 80,000 volumes and 55,000 sheet maps in the Natural History Building.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS GEOLOGY LIBRARY

The University Library's Rare Books Room is repository for one of the
world's outstanding collections of rare and early geological literature.
Included in the collection are, among others, first editions of classic works
by Agricola, Steno, Gesner, Biringucci, Smith, Maclure, Hutton, Werner,
and Agassiz. We also possess a substantial selection of early American
geological works. An annotated 565 page catalog to this collection by
D. Ward and A. Carozzi was published in 1984 by the University of Illinois
Library.
