Professor
Leon E. Long
Professor and The Second Mr. and Mrs. Charles
E. Yager Professorship
and member of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers
PhD., Columbia University,
1959
Field of Study:
Geochemistry, isotope geology including
Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd geochronology,
and isotopes used as geochemical tracers
Short Biography:
Dr long's research is in isotope geology,
especially to use naturally occurring radioactivity and its daughter products
as a geologic clock (for example, to date the crystallization of a magma),
and as a geochemical tracer (for example, to characterize the source rock
whose melting produced the magma). Dr. Long is interested in applying
the Rb-Sr isotopic age method to clay minerals, one possibility being
to date when weathering had produced an ancient soil zone.
