Professor Jillian
F. Banfield conducts research in mineralogy, geochemistry, and geomicrobiology.
Her work is directed toward understanding reactions at interfaces
involving mineral surfaces, fluids containing both inorganic and
organic species, and microorganisms. Other aspects of work in our
group relate to the behavior of nanocrystalline materials (such
as produced in chemical weathering and by biomineralization).
She teaches
a number of graduate and undergraduate courses, including mineralogy,
crystal chemistry, geomicrobiology, analytical techniques, gemology,
an undergraduate field course, and seminars.
She will begin
her professorship in 2002 at the Departments of Earth &Planetary
Science and Environmental
Science, Policy, and Management at Berkeley.
