Allegra Hosford Scheirer
Physical Science Research Scientist
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
Allegra Hosford Scheirer is a research geophysicist at Stanford University, specializing in basin and petroleum system modeling. Her work is centered on the strong belief in the integration of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data in a unified working environment.
Teaching
She co-teaches courses and co-advises several graduate students with a focus on basin and petroleum system modeling and investigative methods for exploring conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons.
Professional Activities
Prior to joining Stanford, Allegra was a member of the Geophysical Unit of Menlo Park and the Energy Resources Program at the U.S. Geological Survey, where she constructed three-dimensional geologic models for use in the resource assessment process. Allegra has led and participated in numerous field programs at sea and in the United States. She is the editor of U.S.G.S. Professional Paper 1713 and a past Associate Editor of Journal of Geophysical Research. -
Eva L. Scheller
Assistant Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences
BioProf. Scheller leads the Planetary Chemistry and Spectroscopy group. Her research focuses on working with and developing instrumentation (spectroscopy and stable isotope mass spectrometry) on spacecraft missions designed to study the chemistry of planetary surfaces and materials, combining laboratory spectroscopy experiments with spacecraft dataset analysis and instrument development. She has a keen interest in exploring limitations and detectability challenges in spacecraft instrumentation, such as refining organic detection methods for spacecraft instrumentation. The main focus of her research is using these datasets and experiments in order to understand the global volatile cycles of planetary bodies and their effects on controlling the evolution of atmospheres, crusts, and habitability of planets.
Prof. Scheller is currently developing the Stanford Planetary Chemistry and Spectroscopy computational and experimental laboratory, which will focus on UV to longwave infrared spectroscopy at ambient and ultrahigh vacuum, cryogenic conditions as well as AI methodologies applied to the analysis of spectral datasets. -

Dustin Schroeder
Associate Professor of Geophysics, of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment
BioMy research focuses on advancing the scientific and technical foundations of geophysical ice penetrating radar and its use in observing and understanding the interaction of ice and water in the solar system. I am primarily interested in the subglacial and englacial conditions of rapidly changing ice sheets and their contribution to global sea level rise. However, a growing secondary focus of my work is the exploration of icy moons. I am also interested in the development and application of science-optimized geophysical radar systems. I consider myself a radio glaciologist and strive to approach problems from both an earth system science and a radar system engineering perspective. I am actively engaged with the flow of information through each step of the observational science process; from instrument and experiment design, through data processing and analysis, to modeling and inference. This allows me to draw from a multidisciplinary set of tools to test system-scale and process-level hypotheses. For me, this deliberate integration of science and engineering is the most powerful and satisfying way to approach questions in Earth and planetary science.
