Osburn, Magdalena
Associate Professor, Curriculum Chair, and Seminar Coordinator
Professor Osburn’s research interests include:
- Geobiology of extreme environments including the deep subsurface, hydrothermal systems, ultrabasic/acidic systems, and caves
- Compound-specific isotope organic geochemistry (H, C, S) applied to microbial ecology, biogeochemical cycling in microbe-rich environments, and the sedimentary record of environmental perturbation
- Neoproterozoic chemical evolution of the ocean-atmosphere system during extreme isotope excursions
- Carbonate sedimentology, stratigraphy, and geochemistry with an emphasis on microbialite preservation and morphology
