Biography

Adam Maloof is a professor in the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University whose research interests encompass paleoclimate, early animal evolution, and the global carbon cycle. His work is based on original field observations, scale maps, rock outcrops, and thin sections. He founded the Princeton Grinder Lab, where 3D models of drone surveys of landscapes are created alongside serial grinding-and-imaging of hand specimens to expose previously hidden geological worlds, reducing uncertainty in geological observations. Maloof employs modern analog environments to calibrate stratigraphic records of Earth's history, using this historical data to establish constraints on future global change. He is also a member of the High Meadows Environmental Institute's associated faculty.
