Simon Klemperer
Professor of Geophysics and, by courtesy, of Geological Sciences
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI study the growth, tectonic evolution, and deformation of the continents. My research group undertakes field experiments in exemplary areas such as, currently, the Tibet plateau (formed by collision between Indian and Asia); the actively extending Basin-&-Range province of western North America (the Ruby Range Metamorphic Core Complex, NV, and the leaky transform beneath the Salton Trough, CA). We use active and passive seismic methods, electromagnetic recording, and all other available data!

Jonas Kloeckner
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Geological Sciences
BioJonas Kloeckner received a MSc in engineering from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil (2016 - 2018). Graduated in mining engineering at the UFRGS (2010 - 2016), and Bac +5 from the Ecole des Mines d'Alès, France (2013 - 2014), and Visitor Student at Columbia University, USA (2012). Currently Mr. Kloeckner is a Visiting Research Scholar at Stanford University tutored by Professor Jef Caers, and he is a PhD Candidate at the Mineral & Environmental Technology and Extractive Metallurgy Program with emphasis in Geostatistics at the UFRGS and supervised by Professor João Felipe Coimbra Leite Costa.

Alexandra Konings
Assistant Professor of Earth System Science and, by courtesy, of Geophysics & Center Fellow, by courtesy, at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioAlexandra Konings leads the Remote Sensing Ecohydrology group, which studies interactions between the global carbon and water cycles. That is, her research studies how changes in hydrological conditions change ecosystems, and how this in turn feeds back to weather and climate. These interactions include studies of transpiration and root water uptake, photosynthesis, mortality, and fire processes, among others. To address these topics, the groups primarily uses the tools of model development and remote sensing (satellite) data, especially microwave remote sensing data of vegetation water content. Alex believes that a deep understanding of remote sensing techniques and how they can be used to create environmental datasets enables new opportunities for scientific insight and vice versa.
