Isotope Geochemistry Seminar (spring semesters only)

DePaolo Publication List

Don DePaolo has taught and conducted research at UC Berkeley and LBNL since 1988. He established and now directs the Center for Isotope Geochemistry (CIG), a joint research facility crossing the institutional boundaries of UC Berkeley and LBNL, with several scientists, lab managers/technicians and computer support, and six mass spectrometers [see Labs for more about the equipment and capabilities].

Teaching

Prof. DePaolo teaches courses on geochemistry (EPS 124/224), introductory upper division petrology (EPS 100B: about rock identification and how rocks are formed; EPS 102: History and Evolution of Planet Earth), and occasionally one of the popular EPS 39 freshman seminars or the upper division field trip courses (EPS 119). He currently supervises four graduate students and two postdoctoral researchers.
