Sasa Caval
Administrative Assistant, Institute for Research in the Social Sciences
Staff,BioDr Saša Čaval is an archaeologist whose research explores how landscapes, memory, and material culture shape communities across time. She leads the ERC project STONE, examining the origins and meanings of the medieval stećci tombstones of the Western Balkans. Her work integrates archaeology, geoarchaeology, and digital heritage technologies to study long-term human–environment relationships.
At Stanford, Dr Čaval is affiliated with the Stanford Archaeology Center and the Institute for Research in Social Sciences. She also works with the Mauritian Archaeology and Cultural Heritage project group, connecting archaeology with post-colonial histories and community-based conservation. She also contributes to GeoAI, Slovenia’s national research programme applying artificial intelligence to cultural-heritage risk modelling.
A Marie Skłodowska-Curie alumna (University of Reading, UK) and active member of the Marie Curie Alumni Association (Coordinator for the West Coast), she promotes inclusive, ethically grounded research that links local communities, digital innovation, and global heritage stewardship. -

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsResearch
I use stable and radiogenic isotopes to understand Earth system history. These studies examine the link between climate, tectonics, biological, and surface processes. Projects include: 1) examining the terrestrial climate history of the Earth focusing on periods of time in the past that had CO 2-levels similar to the present and to future projections; and 2) addressing how the chemical weathering of the Earth's crust affects both the long- and short-term carbon cycle. Field areas for these studies are in the Cascades, Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, the European Alps, Tibet and the Himalaya and the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
International Collaborations
Much of the research that I do has an international component. Specifically, I have collaborations with: 1) the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt Germany as a Humboldt Fellow and 2) the Chinese University of Geosciences in Bejiing China where I collaborate with Professor Yuan Gao.
Teaching
I teach courses at the undergraduate and graduate level in isotope biogeochemistry, Earth system history, and the relationship between climate, surface processes and tectonics.

Eeshan Chaturvedi
Ph.D. Student in Environment and Resources, admitted Autumn 2022
BioEeshan is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Climate Governance, and its correlations with policy, law, and earth systems. He holds an LLM in Environmental Law and Policy from Stanford Law School and has since worked with various domestic and international organizations on legal and management issues. In academia, he has held positions of Assistant Dean and Professor of Environmental Governance and continues to engage with the various stakeholders in the space.
He enjoys discussions on neuroscience, astrophysics, and geo-politics in his free time.
