Prof. Renne
is Director of the Berkeley Geochronology Center. His research includes
applications of geochronology and paleomagnetism to various problems
in the evolution of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and
biosphere. Recent foci include continental flood basalts and plume-related
magmatism, mass extinctions, human evolution, chronostratigraphy,
tectonics, and calibration of the geologic time scale. In parallel,
work on improving geochronologic methods and capabilities is ongoing.
Fieldwork is principally in North and South America, and Africa,
but also includes Europe and Asia.
