Zachary Burton
Affiliate, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences
BioI completed my Ph.D. with Dr. Stephan Graham in Geological & Environmental Sciences in 2020. While at Stanford, I worked with the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory, the New Zealand Institute for Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS Science), and the SETI Institute and NASA Astrobiology Institute. I spent time in internships with a Fortune 500 E&P company, a California-based E&P firm, and Stanford Graduate School of Business. My research interests span organic and inorganic geochemistry, gas hydrates, sedimentary systems, and terrestrial analogues for the conditions found on Mars. My research has been published in Science Advances, Geophysical Research Letters, Energy & Fuels, International Journal of Earth Sciences, and Energies, and has been featured by ABC, CNN, MSN, Daily Mail, Yahoo, Popular Science, Live Science, New Scientist, Space, Universe Today, Austria Presse Agentur, Europa Press, Prensa Latina, Navbharat Times, India.com, MarthaStewart.com, and over 100 others. I've written for The Professional Geologist and UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, and have been invited to speak for TEDx, Vail Global Energy Forum, U.S. Department of State, Cleantech Open at PG&E Energy Center, University of Houston (HOGS), AGU, GSA, LPSC, Sigma Xi, and others. I also volunteer my time as a member of the board of directors (and the board of publications) of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society, and as an advisory board member to the Society for Space Education, Research, and Development, a STEM NGO based in India.
Outside of research, I work to disrupt the stigma surrounding mental illness through The Manic Monologues, a play I co-created that showcases diverse true stories of mental health and illness. The play premiered at Stanford in May 2019 to standing ovations each night before being performed live to sold-out audiences in Des Moines, Iowa in Nov. 2019 and in Los Angeles (UCLA) in Feb. 2020. The play has been adapted for the virtual realm both as a film developed with a 50-hospital healthcare system (and screened for California Hospital Association, Stanford Medicine, AdventHealth, NAMI SF, and others) and as virtual productions and performances by McCarter Theatre Center (in partnership with Princeton University, The 24 Hour Plays, One Mind, and others), Prince George's Community College in Maryland, Virtual Theater Lab in Arizona, and others. The Manic Monologues was selected as an official Nominee for the 2021 Drama League Awards (the oldest theatrical honors in America) and has been featured by The Washington Post, NPR, NY1, The New York Times, Fast Company, Broadway World, Psychology Today, Modern Healthcare, and many more. Additionally, I spend time as board member to the Coalition for Action for Preventive Mental Health in Kenya, Columbia-WHO Center for Global Mental Health, and Generation Mental Health Association, and in the past served on the advisory council of actress Glenn Close’s mental health nonprofit Bring Change to Mind. My writing related to mental health has been published by Devex, International Bipolar Foundation, and United for Global Mental Health, and I've been invited to speak for TEDx, California Hospital Association, Stanford School of Medicine, UCLA, UCSF, SFSU, and many others.
I also founded and led the Stanford Earth Distinguished Alumni Lecture Series, founded Stanford's Energy Policy Community, and founded and ran Vines & Strata (the Stanford wine and geology society), hosting over 35 events for 1000+ members of the community. In the past, I dabbled in "science poetry," which was featured in The Wall Street Journal. -

Guadalupe Carrillo
Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences
BioAs Director of Stanford Earth's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives, Dr. Carrillo directs and oversees the SURGE program for visiting undergraduate scholars, works with faculty on improving graduate-school admissions practices, and builds partnerships with universities and institutions across the world. She holds a PhD in English from Stanford University and a B.A. in English and Political Science from UC Berkeley. In addition to advancing the School's diversity goals, she also teaches literature courses on occasion. Last year she served as a lecturer for Stanford's CCSRE program, teaching a course on Contemporary U.S. Chicano and Latino Literature.

Robyn Dunbar
Associate Dean for Educational Affairs, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences
BioRobyn leads the Educational Initiatives team in the Office of the Dean, with a particular focus on supporting school-wide efforts and department/program educational partnerships. After joining Stanford’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) in 1999 as Assistant Director for Science and Engineering, Robyn went on to become Associate Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and CTL's Director in 2013, a position that she held prior to joining the new Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching and Learning (VPTL) in 2014. During her time at VPTL, Robyn led teams in faculty and graduate student teaching development, as well as evaluation and research.
Robyn received a B.A. in geology from Trinity University followed by an M.A. in Antarctic marine geology and Ph.D. in geology from Rice University. During the course of her graduate work, Robyn participated in five Antarctic research cruises and holds the distinction of being one of the first two women to conduct Antarctic marine research aboard a U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker. By the time she received her Ph.D., Robyn’s research, her career, and her soul had shifted to the ancient rock record and the spectacular geology of the Four Corners area. Robyn was a faculty member in geology at the University of New Mexico and at Rice University before coming to Stanford.
On the personal side of things, Robyn enjoys time with her husband (and Stanford professor) Rob Dunbar, her two wonderful sons, and way too many long-haired dogs and cats. Along with Rob, she has participated in numerous Stanford Travel Study trips to exotic destinations and enjoys the mesa country, gardening, and turning over rocks. -
Tyler Kukla
Ph.D. Student in Geological Sciences
SURGE Program Assistant, School of Earth, Energy and Environmental SciencesBioI am a geochemist and paleoclimatologist focusing on the evolution of the water and carbon cycles, and their link to climate, through the past 65 million years. Merging laboratory analyses and numerical modeling, my work aims to quantitatively reconstruct ancient environmental and climatic parameters, and their evolution over time. Before starting at Stanford I completed a B.A. in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Northwestern University.
